They make special sponges just for what your saying. I guess I should invest in some.

yea you can buy one or make one for like 99 cents. all still very good. you also can touch the tires up after when it fades a little depending on how saturated your sponge is. ive had mine for like three years and its still full of dressing

i spray the tire shine on in the last step of the process of washing my car. i clean my tires off with soap and a brush first. then i spray it on and let it get pretty dry. then, even though it says you arent supposed to touch it, i use a rag t-shirt and wipe it into the rubber and wipe off any that got on the car. i find this makes the shine look nice and even on the tire instead of being all spotty.
