Applicator with hydrophobic coating transferable to contacting surface

A kit for producing a hydrophobic film on a vehicle window surface, the kit comprising:

• an applicator having an applicator surface;
• a nonvolatile layer formed from the a composition an oil selected from a group consisting of a silicone oil, fluoropolymer oil, or a combination thereof;
• a resin soluble in said oil;
• and a particulate lubricant;
• the composition being essentially free of a silicone wax;
• said nonvolatile layer adhered to the applicator surface or applied thereto from a container;
• a protective cover overlying said nonvolatile layer and having an internal surface, said protective cover is such that the coating is not in contact with the internal surface of the cover from the time said nonvolatile layer is produced to the time that the wiper blade is installed on a vehicle;
• and
• instructions for contacting the applicator surface with the vehicle window surface to produce the hydrophobic film having a water contact angle of greater than or equal to 60°.
