CarPro released this applicator in 2018.
The description is pretty straight forward with this tire applicator. It has a firm foam handle to prevent any tire dressing or protectant from getting on ones hands. The handle has the new CarPro logo imprinted on it for added aesthetics.
The foam applicator is cut to the shape of a tire to avoid from any tire product from getting onto the wheel.
The applicator applied the tire dressing evenly without any streaking. CarPro Perl at 1:1 was used in this particular case.
One thing to be aware of is that this applicator struggles on the raised areas such as getting tire dressing into the upper portion of the tire as seen in the photo.
The other thing is the applicator tends to apply product towards the center of the applicator and on the outer edge of the applicator. So the tire product will need to be worked in evenly.
For smoother tires they have no issues.
Overall these tire applicators work well and the best part no tire product all over the hands.
One thing I would recommend is to label the applicator with whatever tire product it is used with. It will become your dedicated tire applicator for that particular product.
Thanks for reading.

What profile is that tire? I saw these and thought about ordering, but I always feel tire swipes are made for someone with a truck, or Jeep. I've started using one of the foam brushes used for painting.

They are either 245/45-19 or 245/45-20. Can’t recall as I don’t have the tires in front of me.
