Default VHT treating slicks for better traction?

do to my local track being poor on prep i was going to start treating my slicks, what i want to know is whats the best product to use and whats the best procedure to get the most from it? i read some people treat the tires a few days before a event others right before its time to run , and do you do a burn out or does that just rub it all off? lets here some input guys.

what we used to do on ths buicks, is use a paint roller the night before, and put them on at the track.

and if we went rounds, paint some more on the deeper we went (rounds wise)

vht track bite.

Tiger Claw, soaks from the inside. Comes though when the tire gets hot.

Get on a oval track board, or kart racing.. They "treat" their slicks.
