jay cloth :?
if it's a gel type you need a dedicated applicator, like the ones found here http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-and-tyres/cat_7.html
so kinda like a sponge then yeah?

I just spray mine on.
but then it will probably overspray onto the tread of the tyre which will make you lose grip while driving, or onto the alloy itself which will then attract dirt to the alloy more
I use a small paint brush, probably use too much tyre shine that way though.
amorall stuff comes with an aplicator, lasts for weeks too
