Anyone know a retailer, where I can pick some of these up.... The 10cm by 10cm for applying glass coating? I don't really feel like paying $15.00 for shipping for 10 cm cloths! I'm out and am wanting to do a tahoe this weekend! Also I'm open to suggestions for applicators, that don't soak up all my coating!

Take a Car Pro applicator and wrap it in a nitrile glove. Then wrap that with a suede microfiber. You will still need to replace the suedes, but the applicator will last a lot longer.

Thx for the suggestion... But I actually just need the suede microfiber... Don't know where to get any other than online retailers!

One of the original ways to apply OC was to put a foam applicator in a nitrile glove and wrap a blue shop towel around it. I am not suggesting that this is the best thing to do, nor would i encourage you to use this technique on any soft paint. Just providing some historical reference.

Get the 10 pack of 16" square cloths (if you can find them) for $19.99. That'll make ONE HUNDRED SIXTY 4" cloths for only $19.99.

However.... right now they don't seem to be in stock. That'll be the 20cm units for $29.99 which will only make 40 4"/10cm units.

Seems to me "the powers that be" figured out that WE HAD FIGURED OUT it's easy to cut down the larger ones and decided to give us the ol' "grab your ankles and cough" routine. :eek: :rolleyes: :eek:

FWIW, if you DO decide to go with the 4" units they are cheaper over on the CarPro site. ;)

Pay attention to sales right now on AG, free shipping has popped up alot. Or it's been down to spend $75 = free shipping.

Great idea!

If CarPro is cheaper, AG price matches!


I've heard Nick mention plenty of times to give them a call and they'll hook you up!

Joann fabrics? Walmart fabric section? The reverse side of a tire applicator? An old tie? Maybe,a cloth from an eyeglass cleaning kit?

Amazon has tons.

If you don't have prime memebership, get it.

I've not personally used the suede cloths, but they look strikingly similar to the ones I clean my eye glasses with. If someone can confirm this, I'd say Walmart or any larger type store should have something.

As stated in previous posts these are the same. Most eyewear stores will give a few for free.
