Wax/Sealant applicator.

[Ruben12]

Hey guys I am looking to buy an applicator to apply wax to my vehicle. A while back I purchased a chem guys applicator pad and it is terrible. It's too big and the microfiber wrapped around the foam is almost paper thin. Any suggestions on a good applicator?

I use the polishing pal with the red pad. Love it.

Wolfgang Polishin’ Pal is an ergonomically shaped urethane handle that holds specially designed foam pads using hooks & loops.

This is all I use to apply waxes or sealants.

I assume your applying the product by hand?

I haven't applied any LSP's by hand in a long time, but I liked to use foam pads like these.

I think several other vendors here like Hydrotec, Lake Country, and maybe even Griots offer a similar type pad, so there are a variety to choose from.

I like the ufo style wax applicators that are red. Super soft and easy to use and clean

Buff 'n Shine Notched Red Applicators without a doubt. Ultra soft foam, good absorbent properties (i.e. the lack thereof), and the way you're able to hold them b/c of the notched middle area have made these applicators the only ones I use for sealant/wax application. Trust me- buy them.

Are those the ones that look like a SurBuff pad? With the little hairs?

No there just soft square foam applicators.

Any of the above-mentioned are good. I always wax by hand. Even if you use a machine, you'll still have hand-apply to small areas, between emblems, etc.

For that very reason, I just stick with the hand application. I find the LC round foam applicators great, and I did have a set of Meg's ones that I thought were great.

I use the UFO style, I think I would like the ones with handles but I'm not paying $25 for a handle lol (I'll pay $5). So I stick with UFO style. They work well.

I'll order 6 of these every other order or so. I use them for pretty much everything and throw away or use them for tire dressing when done\ depending on the product used in the first place. I like them because the profile is low enough to where I can be be a little more accurate with them.
