My Macan is the worst car I have had for this. Still using the same Autoglym Rubber Plus cleaner I use on all my cars but after a short trip the side of the Macan is a mess. I put it on very thin onto generally warm tyres that are totally dry. Car also is never driven until at least the next day or even later. Rear wheels also seem to get covered in the stuff too.

I reckon it's the Pirelli tyres as they have a lot of little grooves around the tyre face and other cars have generally had smoother tyres but I'm nowhere near tyre change time yet.

Any one use any product that doesn't make a mess. Have tried Meguiars Endurance tyre gel that markets as no fling but it made an even bigger mess.

I have P Zeros and use Meguiars Endurance tyre gel and I don't have any problems with sling.
Method i use the Tyre Gel applicator , then I use a shoe brush to ensure the gel is in all the "Little Grooves" then wipe the tyre with a cloth to remove any surplus. Next day before I drive off I again use a cloth on the tyres.

I have mudflats as well so that isn't the solution.

Also give the tyres a rub after applying and generally give them a rub over the next day as well.

Never come accross this - I use Autoglym dressing; apply sparingly with a sponge snd wipe off with the same sponge.

Cheers guys.

As I say I have never had this problem before including on white cars where it would be very obvious. I am of course assuming it's the tyre cleaner that is on the side of the car and back wheels as I can't really see it can be anything else. Need to look up close to see it but very obvious splashes all down the doors on both sides.

Really annoying as I have cracked the drips from the mirrors that really annoyed me so just need to solve this one too.

What is the applicator you use like? Driving off in an hour with no issues sounds ideal.
