Today I applied Griot's Weatherproof Tire Dressing with his new applicator,(the curved,red plastic one with the replacable pads). It went on easily and evenly and the applicator is the most comfortable one I've used. The dressing looks like thick black paint. It will stain your hands,but is easily washed off with soap and water. We'll see how long it lasts,(it's supposed to rain on Thursday and Friday).
