RV Tire Tip: Don’t Overdress

RV tire tip

RV tire tip — don’t overdress.

I was tired of the overspray from my tire dressing getting onto my tow vehicle’s freshly cleaned rims, so I devised the following solution.

Get a piece of cardboard approximately 30-36 inches square. Measure the diameter of the rim on the tow vehicle. Using a piece of string tied to a pencil (a DIY compass), halve the measured diameter to make a radius, hold one end of the string in the center of the diameter and draw a circle that is the same size as the rims.

Use a utility knife to cut out the circle. Affix a scrap of wood to the cardboard cutout to act as a handle. If the center of the rim extends beyond the surface of the tire, cut the appropriate size hole in the cover for clearance.

Now you can spray away with no worries. You can also use the leftover piece of cardboard to cover the ground around the spraying area.
