what cloths do people use??

[Guy]

i tried to use one of them microfibre clothes on my old car and it seemed to put swirl marks all over the bonnet.

on the 182 i just use rags from work
we get them in big packets and i pick out the stuff that feels decent n bring them home n polish the car with them. seem to work fine to be honest.

To apply polish and wax I use the Yellow Meguiars type Foam pads.

them foam pads are what i use for applying. i like them

might order some p21s and some microfibre towels then.
they definately dont induce scratches like the one i had seemed to?

Like everything quality can vary, not all Microfiber is the same.

Don't you find the yellow megs pads a bit harsh....i preffer the terry cloth applicator pads....

I dunno why but i've always had a tendency to bite sponges since i was a wee boy....

 

[Guy]

you're just plain weird!

erm, the yellow applicators i bought in the pack of two seem more harsh than the slightly larger pad i got when i bought the gold class liquid carwax..

 

[James_Extreme]

they probably just add a fancy name to make it sound better when its essentially the same thing

The ultra plushes, as in the name a more plush, have a deeper pile on one side.

As a guide on my car sad as it sounds I have different towwels for different Jobs.

Normal Ultras - Polish and Sealant removal, fine nap easily wipes of haze
Ultra Plushes - Quick detailing, soaks up the QD well and the deep nap draws any lose dirt away from the Paint.
Ultra Fines - Very soft, final wipe down when the cars all done.
Sonus Buffing Towels - Very soft and plush, ideal for Carnuba Waxes like P21s

I find them okay, only really use them for waxes and sealants as other products are used by PC. Plus they fit into the wax post so well.

I have some Microfiber applicators, but they soak up and waste lots of product in use.
