Hi mate, these are what i use - do the job of an application pad, I now use P21 wax where an applicator is provided, however before I use oned one to apply my wax and one to apply my polish. Microfibre cloth for buffing and removing i normally use.

Tbh theres far better guys to speak to - "Rich" is our resident guru normally

I use yellow foam hand pads for nearly every product. Just use a clean one for each different product and wash them after - will last you years.

As for product removal microfiber towels.

Cheers guys, where might i find the right foam hand pads? Dont mean to sound stupid, but as said i'm new to this and dont want to use the wrong thing and cover my car in swirls.

The Megs ones are fine, I also use these as they are cheaper - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/foam-wax-applicator/prod_89.html

It's actually getting used for what it was manufactured for , to be driven lol :quiet:

No regrets then Rich ? Is the 106 fulfilling your needs ?

 

[Rich]

I believe so. Cracked 6k now lol

No regrets, 106 is damn good fun, better now it has brakes - keeping me occupied until I can decide what to replace the 182 with.
