• ERGONOMIC:  The handle swivels so that your hand stays in one position and the pad rotates as you go around the tire reducing arm & shoulder fatigue. Two of the outer edges of the applicator also have a slight curve to them to better match the curve of the tire for better one pass coverage.

• SPEED:  The paddle design allows the tire sidewalls to be completely dressed in seconds with minimal effort.

• LESS MESS:  Applicator keeps the tire dressing away from your hands and eliminates excess tire dressing "sling" on driving surfaces and your ride's exterior.

• LESS WASTE:  Provides an even dressing coverage without using an excessive amount of tire dressing.

• SECURE:  Rivets permanently secure the velcro backing onto the paddle.  Safe to use with any tire dressing product whether solvent or water based.

• EASE OF USE:  Pads are easily changed with a velcro backing.  Simply peel the pads off of the applicator for cleaning or replacement.

Be sure to pick up some extra pads!

A simple, inexpensive foam applicator that has one side cut out to match the curve of your tire.   The open cell foam is durable enough to last for many tire dressing applications.

Similar to the foam dressing applicator above.  This applicator also has a lower section made of dense foam but the upper part has a hard plastic shell for gripping.  Also comes with a cover to help keep it clean when you are not using it. 

A good general purpose foam applicator pad for applying wax, sealant and dressings.  The edges are heat sealed for added durability.

A great pad for lightly polishing and cleaning your ride's paint with our Rick's Best Precleaning Lotion and for applying your final coat of wax or sealant.  One side is dimpled to aid in holding the product on the pad and the other side is just simply smooth.  Measures 6" long and 1 1/4" thick.

A tough, tear resistant foam pad that was specially designed for clear coat finishes.  Use to easily apply or remove polish or wax and effectively eliminate fine scratches, swirls and imperfections while creating a beautiful, deep gloss.  The top side of this applicator is designed for easy gripping.

The same toughness as our Foam Polishing Pad above but in a little stiffer foam to gently but effectively remove bonded and embedded contaminants, blemishes and oxidation from clear coat when used with a good cleaning compound.  Works exceptionally well with our Rick's Best Precleaning Lotion or our Rick's Best Paint Compound Polish.

A sponge encased in a specially select plush terry cotton pile that will gently and evenly apply waxes, polishes or protectants to your clear coat finish.

Very handy for reaching down into areas that are not always easy to get to.

An effective 1" wide foam brush for applying dressing around trim areas or for cleaning those harder to reach areas. 

For general purpose use, the large tip cotton applicator works well.  The tip measures approximately 1/4" wide by 1/2" long.  The longer 6" wooden shaft gives you good reach into those hard to get at places.

For those very small places, this cotton applicator is great.  The tip measures 1/16" wide by 3/8" long.

Get the best of both worlds, a cotton applicator with a different tip on each end.  The rounded end measures 3/16" wide by 3/8" long and the tapered point measures a little over 1/16" wide by 3/8" long.

Prefer to work with foam and need that extra small tip to get into those tiny places?  Try this foam applicator with a tip that measures 1/8" wide by 3/8" long.

A foam applicator that is sleeved over a cotton tip gives you the strengths of both.  The cotton underneath is for absorbency making this tip capable of holding or absorbing much more than just a foam tip.  The foam tip is great for cleaning without leaving behind any lint and is also easy to clean for reuse.  The medium tip measures 5/16" wide by 1/2" long.

Same as the foam over cotton applicator above but with a little larger tip that measures 5/16" wide by 11/16" long.

Here's one that you don't see everyday.  A speciality swab that kills germs!  Just pinch the foam tip at its base and the isopropyl alcohol flows from the plastic stem into the foam swab.  Works great at killing those germs and odors in air vents or in those hard to reach places around the arm console where you spilled that latte.

Why take a risk with static electricity while detailing around flammable fuel and oil areas . . .  Grab ahold of these anti-static foam applicators to help minimize that stray static electric spark.  This medium tip measures 1/8" wide by 1/2" long.

Same anti-static foam tip as above in a larger size.  This tip measures 5/16" wide by 1/2" long.

Need a foam applicator with more tolerance to harsher chemicals?  This foam applicator is made to resistant most common chemicals.  While it is not needed for any of our "Rick's Best" products, if you get into a harsher environment, try this one out.  The tip measures 5/16" wide by 1/2" long.

The polyester knit fabric tip is one of our favorite applicator materials to work with.  It's easy to work with and best of all, you can clean the tip and reuse the applicator over and over again.  This mini tip is very flexible and is perfect for those really small areas such as around emblems.  The mini tip measures 1/16" wide by 1/4" long.

Another size choice with the polyester knit fabric tip.  This medium tip measures 3/16" wide by 1/2" long.

This applicator is a personal favorite.  While I like the polyester knit fabric that I can clean and reuse, I really like the flat, paddle like tip for getting into tight spaces.  One of the best uses that I have found for using this one is around the wheel lug nuts where the space between the wheel and the lug nuts is tight.  Dirt can really build up in this area and contribute to rapid deterioration of the wheel finish.  This tip measures 3/8" wide on the flat part, 1/8" wide on the side edge and 7/8" long.
