    Applicator pads at 99 cent store

    While at 99 cent store i saw they had a 2 pack MF applicator pad. They seem nice so I bought a pair to try out. They also had a larger MF pad with a pouch on back to put fingers in to hold on better. Has anyone used these before? They also had a bottle of quick detailer. Do u think this is ok to use as lube for just claying? Just wondering if I can use that as lube for 99 cents instead of using Meguiars QD for $6. Thanks for the input

    The MF pads are probably fine - just be aware that you'll get more cut using a polish/compound with a MF pad over a foam pad.

    The QD for $0.99? I probably wouldn't risk it. What brand is it?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

    Im not sure what brand it was. Ive only seen it at the 99 cent stores. They even had some wax there too but i'll stick to my ULW for that. I was just curious to see if the detailer would work as lube for claying

    Perhaps give it a try on a test spot first?

    I'll check out my local 99c store. I think these cheap applicator pads will be good for leather, interior or trim use.

    I wouldnt bother with that cheap detailer for anything other than a tool box.
