Removing Tire Gel From Applicators

[uhohitsstevo]

I am having a really really hard time removing tire gel from applicators. I am finding that even using my towel soap and soaking them in a bucket does absolutely nothing. What is the best way too break down the gel and be able to remove it from the applicators so I can get multiple uses out of them?

Foam applicators?

1. Have dedicated brand applicators
2. Try soaking in D108
3. Buy new ones

I use a dedicated 3 inch paint brush.

Have dedicated tire applicators and store in a zip lock bag. No need to wash the applicator as your tires should be clean before applying dressings.

Mineral spirits.

I have dedicated applicators, I have used APC on the applicator to clean it out, I also had luck with pad cleaner as well.

i just use a dedicated foam tire applicator and when i'm finished i take a paper towel (folded a few times) and press the applicator (on the ground) firmly a few times to soak out any remaining dressing and then put it in an empty open dedicated plastic container...

Bug & tar cleaner will clean them right up!

This is exactly what I do as well, although I try to wrap the applicator a few times in a paper towel before putting into the bag.
