I was cleaning our cars this weekend and came to a realization when I was dressing the tires. The Cobra applicators are awesome! I picked a pack just after they were first released, but I hadn't used them. I'm a fan of BnB and I usually used a terry applicator. I've found that the "terry" spreads BnB quiet nicely and since we're in "Hurricane" season now I wanted a product that was going to hold up against the constant raining. "I've found gels to work best. So for the past few months I've been using Wolfgang BDTG with the Cobra applicator.
In the past few months that I've been using the applicators I only tried cleaning it once, and a was to messy to try. Oh and I found gloves to really help out when working with gels and handling the applicators. My regiment of cleaning our tires only consist of spraying down with S&W and wiping down with a rag, so They aren't exactly clean enough to eat off :p
After I'm done with all the tires I merely fold my glove over the applicators and throw it in my "detailing" bag. The only result of all the abuse is a slight separation around the pad which you can see in the pictures.

The last picture shows DP's tire gel from application yesterday. The Cobra applicator really spreads the gel nicely and holds up well against the abuse.
