    Apply with foam pad and remove with microfiber towel, not microfiber pads.

        Definitely apply with foam, unless you know that your paint will not mar with microfiber applicators and that you are using high quality microfiber applicators.

            You can use either one, they are both good. The Meguiar's Even Coat Applicator Pads provide a larger surface area and Meguiar's claims they are even gentler than a foam pad.

            Which ever pad you use, just try to keep you fingers flat on the pad so you don't create pressure points.

            Apply ultra thin coat of wax. After the wax is fully dry, then use a microfiber cloth to remove the wax.

              I like foam more for applying things.

                I would also go with the foam.

                  I think I'll stick with the foam..Has always worked in the past..

                      I think foam is much safer and easier to use (less drag). I had a bad experience with one mf once (thought it marred my paint) and never used them again. I use the mf applicators on the interior surfaces.

                        IME, foam spreads better on paint and seems to give a more even coating compared to mf pad.
                        But i dun mind using mf with liquid based waxes.....

                          I always remove wax with a flannel cloth. Over time they get softer and softer and will not scratch or mark the paint surface.

                              I like using the MF pads to apply Ult. Protectant and Supreme Shine. Then I place the saturated pad in a zip lok baggy marked with the product...for the next time use. Less pad washing and streeeetches the product since it takes so little of each of these to do the job.
