I like to use Meguiar's foam applicators I got from Wal-Mart. 2 of them for like $2 I think. (I bought 4)

I like to buff off with a white EDGE pad on the PC at speed 6. I feel this really helps bond the wax to the paint, almost like a melting effect into the paint.

I havent tried applying the wax/sealant with a PC yet however.

I buy these too, they are actually $1.67 for two of them and they work great, no marring or nothing!

For my high-end waxes I use the Cobra foam pads, but they are quite pricey so I use them sparingly.

+1 for the MG GC applicators. I need to try removing with the white pad, I heard of others doing it. I tried a MF bonnet over a wool pad the other day, which I liked.

Zymol applicators are really nice. 3-$5.95, but I like them.

I also have tons of Meg's applicators. I use these for lots of applications, not just wax. Good product.

I was close with the price, lol.

As far as removing with the White pad/PC for me, I got the idea from Justin. I remember when he explained the effect when removing liquid souveran with the white pad on speed 6.

As far as those foam Meg applicators, I just applied DG 105 with one for the first time. Yea, good and quick.

I use the Lake Country 6x4 foam applicators to apply paste wax. Use a finishing pad on the PC to apply liquid waxes. I like to use foam applicators because you don't have to use as much product. The foam doesn't soak up the product like a microfiber or terry cloth applicator would.
