Replacement Foam Pad for the 2250 Applicator

HT-2251 is the factory replacement pad for the Hi-Tech 2250 Tire Dress Express swivel applicator. When the foam on your applicator finally gives out, you replace the pad instead of the whole tool. It attaches with hook and loop backing, so the swap takes seconds: peel the worn pad off the swivel head, line the new one up, and press it on. The foam is rated for both solvent and water-based dressings, so it holds up to solvent gloss products that break down cheaper applicator foams. Keep a spare on the shelf and your Tire Dress Express applicator never comes out of rotation.

The pad is washable, so routine cleaning after use extends its life well before a replacement is needed. Load your tire dressing onto the pad rather than spraying the tire directly, and the foam distributes it evenly across the sidewall. Browse the rest of our applicators.
