    Which side of the yellow foam applicator do you use?

    Hi all,

    A silly question, I know. And yet I am not sure about it so wanted to ask you guys.

    The standard yellow foam applicator pad (the one which usually comes along with the new wax that you ordered) has two different sides - a flatter one compared with a rounder one, while the rounder one seems softer.

    So if I am about to use it to apply a coat of wax to my car, which side should I use?

    Thanks

    Not a bad question...Mc'lovin

    Reminds me of a similar poser:
    Which side of the water-pitcher is the handle on??

    The yellow foam pads I use seem to be the same on both sides...

    Pinnacle Foam Wax Applicator- Great applicators- Great results!

    If yours is different I'd use the softer side against the finish...

    I thought both sides were the same? But I use the side that isn't dirty!

    I always grab a six of these when I order. I need to ramp it up. These pads are awesome

    .Worth every cent!I even cut them up to use as trim sealant applicators. Honestly I didn't

    respond to the post early......I thought it was a trap for the rookies
