I broke these out today to use on a detail.

Bye bye MF applicators that ball up foam inside and snag These are fantastic. I can load them up with product and begin applying to seats, dashes, etc. and as product runs out, give a little push to force more product to the surface from inside and keep moving. The part I like best is the backing pad that you can hang on to, and does not let product bleed through.

For interiors? I ask because they are made for applying wax and sealants. Maybe the soft side is safe for applying interior products? I use their care pad for plastic on all my interior surfaces.

Edit... I see in the description it can indeed be used on interior surfaces. Good tip Spikey Mike.

I have tried many applicators, but I always come back to the good ol' 4" round foam ones.
Easy to load from the can, easy to hold, and easy to fold/pinch to get into tight areas.
I prefer to hand-apply because I can go non-stop around the entire vehicle. JMO

Gotcha. Nothing wrong with using foam applicators for interior products. I also recall using the yellow foam pads for this in the past. I think the reason I stop using them on the interior, was they tended to shed small bits after much use.

They state for interior or exterior dressing. I used it to apply leather conditioner and vinyl dressing. I also have a pair of those green MF mitts but haven't used them yet.

They do! My fault for speed reading the description. Thanks for the tip Spikey Mike. I may have to look into one in the future.
