    Applying products

    I normally use microfiber towels to apply products, (compound, polish, wax, etc - everything by hand) but apparently it's better to use Meg's foam or even applicator pads?

    Re: Applying products

    I use foam pads for application because they shouldn't mar surface and it easier to control qty of product applied thus to create a thin coat. MF soaks up and wastes a lot of product during application IMO. Even app pads are great when you want to apply using MF as they distribute the pressure better than fingers behind an MF towel.

      Yeah, I like the smooth foam for applying.

        You gotta just love the French packaging at the link below. Next time you're going to the auto parts store and the wife asks you where you're going, just tell her you need to pick up some...

          That's funny XD. Wish I had a wife, though I'm only 18.

            You're way to young to wish for that.

            Best of luck with your ride.

              I prefer foam applicators for applying paint cleaners, polishes and waxes, for interiors (interior products such as leather cleaners, conditioner, protectants, etc.) I prefer microfiber applicators I find that microfiber applicators have more bite which allows for better cleaning and less chances for over applying product.

                Foam applicator pads all the way, except for maybe when you're applying a compound/polish and you need just a little more cut...

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. 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.

                  Microfiber towels are for taking off wax and sealants....not putting them on.
