A fluid application system includes a pair of identical, spaced apart, fluid applicators that each include a fluid permeable pad saturated with fluid. In one implementation, each applicator includes a pair of conduits coupled to a base plate, wherein each conduit includes a slot configured to receive an end of the pad. In another embodiment, each applicator defines a reservoir between adjacent plates and channels fluid from the reservoir though openings in the plate to the pad. In another implementation, each of the applicators includes a base plate, a conduit coupled to the base plate, and a housing slidably coupled to the base plate. The housing includes a plurality of pads and is moveable to selectively prevent fluid flow between the conduit and the pads in a first position or to couple the pads in fluid communication with the conduit in the second position.
