Applying, or removing?

Removing

If you are working by hand that is.

Dont wanna use a foam applicator for polish :S

If its "polish" your on about then use something like this..

Or this..

Those shag piles are good but IMO they are a bit tricky to remove polish with...I use them for removing wax and this one for polish (by hand anyways)

All IMO of course

Foam applicators are fine to apply with, although I tend to use something similar to what Rich posted

I always used foam for wax...suppose it doesnt matter though in theory.

Meguairs 3 stages am going to use! Halfrauds not sell any decent ones? Detailing weekend so wanted today/tomorrow!

Halfords sell the Meguiars Foam Applicators and some of their own brand ones.

I'd say you need a MF applicator for Step/Stage 1, then foam for 2 and 3. Although, 3 is just plain crap, so look at changing this for another wax, such as Megs NXT 2.0 if you're limited to what Halfords sell.

Step 1 is a paint cleanser, so the extra bite from MF will help. Step 2 is a pure glaze (rebottled Megs #7) so foam is best here. Then foam for applying wax. To remove, you just need standard MF towels for all stages (but a different one for each!)
