This is with the armor all tire gel, applied once heavily then waited ten minutes wiped with a rag then fill in all the dry spots with no more gel just whats left on the applicator. As you can see the gel is over the side wall if you drive on the highway once it will come off. And about it messing up your panels if you wash the wheels first, hit the the bottum panels of your car then change the water soap and mitt, i prefer to use a different wash mitt for the upper part of the car but if you don't have one yet rinse out the one you have really good. So after you've changed the soap and water, hit the whole car that way you're getting the bottum panels twice.

On this pic he had drove to his place so the side walls are even and perfect.
On this one we had just applied it, you can notice it's over the tread.
