What are my options?

[Stresst]

Ok, here is my problem. I have a 2010 Escalade and am totally aggravated with trying to keep it clean! I am in the car wash numerous times a week because (my OCD) if you drive over a wet roadway even if its only 10' long the entire truck is covered with slop! Cannot put armorall on the tires because its gets all over the sides of the truck. Before this I had a 07 Denali and it was the same shit!

What are my options? I don't want to install mud flaps because it looks like crap! Can I buy narrower tires? While I dont want to sell the truck if I dont cure this soon its going!!!

Na! Do they? Oh snap, thought it was just me!!! lol

In all seriousness I dont think you know what I mean....I have been driving for 20+ years and owned about double that number in cars and trucks. NEVER in my life have I experienced this! I am starting to think maybe the tires have something to do with it but then again my last truck (GMT900 also) did the same thing.....IDK

I've experienced the armorall splashes before but it was the product I was using switched back to my normal meguairs hot shine and haven't had a problem since

The tire shine is on thing, I stopped using it all together and that solved that problem! But I will try the the hot shine.

The biggest problem is wet roadway. Supposed they are doing some kind of construction I drive over wet asphalt the both sides of my truck up to the center of the side windows will be covered in crap!

I wish I could really demonstrate what I am talking about....

I take it you have the stock 22s with the 285/45/22 bridgestones? If so I have also ran those and have had problems with them flinging stuff up but never as high as you are describing

Surprised to read people still use crap like armor all..... lol

Try the new gel stuff and work it in..... the wipe the excess off.

Nothing slings then

Car washes are scratching your paint BTW

The way the body curves I don't think it will ever stop slinging up stuff from the road. If you look down the side you can see the rear of the tire just slightly sticking out past the body. Mud flaps won't protect this from fully happening. I mast say this is the first time I've ever herd someone say they want to sell because his/her truck gets dirty.

What lee said about the tire gel. I use black magic tire gel. You put the gel on a sponge and wipe it on. You dont use alot so there is nothing to sling aka work it in. Never had a problem with gel, only spray on.

And I can agree on the Bridgestones, I get crap all the time on my doors and back fender. Dont take this the wrong way, but it is what it is. Your gonna get stuff on the car. Especially with the crappy ass roads nowadays. And the repair jobs only make it worse. If the state would act use concrete instead of this ****** blacktop, we might not have as many repairs and potholes.
Goodluck buddy, your gonna need it.

I knew I wasnt going to be able to describe what I am experiencing.

No the Dueller All Terrain RHS's. I just insstalled the new Pirelli Scorpion Verde Plus's a few days ago. Hopefully they are better then the Duellers!
