Paper towels and GoJo works for me. I slather it on by hand, rubbing gently. Eventually, the GoJo "melts" and begins to run/drip. Use clean dry paper towels and wipe gently. Keep wiping until the paper towels come away clean. Let it dry for a day or two so the "wet look" goes away to see how well you've done. Sometimes, I need to repeat this process, but it works amazingly well.
