Applicators for wax, sealants & tyre shine

Applicators make it easy to apply product with control, without getting it all over your hands. Sure, you can use a microfiber cloth, but it’s messy. Product ends up where you don’t want it (like on plastic trim) and it usually soaks through to your fingers which means cleaning your hands and anything you touched. Applicators are way cleaner, easier, and faster. Look after them and they’ll last ages. Color coding helps avoid mistakes - you don’t want tyre shine on your leather seats!

We’ve got three main types of applicators:

  • The Wave – Built for tyres and plastic trim. It uses two types of foam to stop liquid soaking through and has a wave pattern that pushes product into tyre grooves and textures. You get quick, even coverage—even over bumps and lines.
  • Foam rounds (UFOs) – These are the basic ones. They work fine for general use and are a great backup to have around.
  • Microfiber-covered foam – These are the most popular. The microfiber lets you color code, toss them in the wash without ruining your load, and they’re soft. These are our go-to for most things.
