No Mess are the best hands down. Once you use one - you will see what I mean.

You're talking about these?

You can lower the unit cost on them by buying 12 for $33.99: Flex Foam Tire Dressing Applicators, tire swipes, tire gel app (http://www.autogeek.net/flex-foam-applicators-12.html)
Or you can try these:
Tire & Trim Dressing Applicators, tire swipe, tire sponge (http://www.autogeek.net/tire-trim-applicators.html)
Tire Dressing Pad (http://www.autogeek.net/td511.html)
Or you can do what a lot of members do and buy the Eagle One applicators at an auto parts store, or the knockoff versions of them at a dollar store.

I use tire gel and never had much luck with the flex applicators. I use the tire and trim dressing applicator available on autogeek. They're circular and essentially have 2 sides to them. So once one side gets worn out just use the other. The applicator is split on both sides so you can easily hold it.
I also use the carrand brush and shine applicator to get into all of the cracks, raised lettering, etc. Very helpful on tires like this...

Carrand works for me with all 5 dressings I have tried. Had mine about 18 months but just a hobbyist (not a pro) so results may vary. A good feature is you can slide the guard to vary how stiff the bristles are.
I like Tuf Shine's applicator. I've been using mine for 2 years now.
