Cloths for wax application

[RDH]

What would you lads recommend?

Not too fussed about having the best on the market, as cleaning cars doesn't interest me at all. Just want something that can do a good job.

Cheers.

Foam pads would be better i'd have thought.

 

[Pedro]

Indeed.

The cheap foam pads off www.cleanyourcar.co.uk will sort you out.

i used some megs micro fiber even finish pads on friday worked a treat

 

[Ali]

Megs pads. Can get them at halfords.

 

[Duncx]

I just use lint free cloths from halfords

 

[Ali]

Also depends on the wax...And size of tub. I still think the German Applicator is the best. But you need a bigger tub of wax tbh.

i used the sponge side oh a kitchen scouring pad the other day because i dropped my foam pad in dirt

 

[clairemae]

i'm not a lad... however the foam pads seem to work or the round cloth pads, similar ones on cleanyourcar are in tesco

+1 I binned the megs pads. Lake country ones from i4d are good

 

[BIFCAIDS]

yea i found the foam ones tend to distroy there selves

If you are not fussed, go into halfords as they sell decent enough pads for wax and sealent application and I can't remember them being that expensive.

Yep. I used some of them the other week. I have to say that I was quite impressed that halfrauds had some products in that I wanted to buy !

Megs fell apart on me I used the clean your car ones £1 each exactly the same.
Little spritz of qd or filtered water for nice thin layers of wax.

 

[Ali]

What are you doing with them!!! Mines ancient and looks fine.

 

[JD]

I have about 20 of them (stock at halfrauds put them down to bugger all in price)

Most have been used for the last two years and are still fine, the tyre gels ones are getting shagged, but that is strong useage!

 

[Ali]

I wouldn't use a wax applicator for tyres tbh! lol.

 

[Gally]

I use 49p sponges cut up into 4 pieces for tyre gel!
Minted tbh. Remove with tyre/wheel specific microfibres.
Throw away the spong bits once used a couple of times.

Thanks for the replys everyone. Probably just going to get the megs pads from halfords as there is one about 2 minutes away.

Yup Agree with Paul on the LC ones

I wouldn't advise sniffing the sealents, but you still do
