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.

Hmm im going to have to try the Pad for removal.. sounds like a good idea

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.

FOAM............for me......i feel applyingl the product better with foam......seems to move around the curves etc much easier than bulky pads.....;)

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.Im the MAN

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.

[P1et]

I'm completely agreeing with Juztang. I used to use the terry cloth applicators and I'd have to use so much. The foam applicators use very little, so you can get nice thin layers.

buy in bulk ... toss after they get dirty.

I use the Pinnacle ones as my "good ones". I bought a few and haven't had to toss them yet!

[Jimmie]

I use a microfiber mitt. Once the fibers fill with wax it's easier to spread thin layers, and the mitt is much quicker than foam. That being said I think that the foam lays a more consistant thin layer.

I use Pinnacle and Meguiar's foam applicators (there was a good deal at Wally World, $1.67 for a package of two, old school packages that I could not pass out), works the best for me.
