Dawn. lil' drop will do ya. Keeps the tire from looking "dried" and browned out, and still is enough to break adhesion. Lot of the "spray on" or "foam" are petrol based which will break down and weaken the rubber over time, losing shine and encouraging aging/cracking.

As with many things in life, a lil bit of the right stuff and a bit of elbow grease is a better, and wiser, course of action

That said, if you don't want " applicator to into contact with any left behind oil based shine from the tire"... you do realize rubber has a natural oil residual in it right? This is not a reasonable expectation, even for synthetic rubber compounds
