Foam, terry, microfiber pad, or microfiber towel? What do you think is best, and why?
In my never ending battle to end micro-marring on my black paint it occurred to me that maybe the applicators were partially to blame, so having an “<B>e</B>nquiring mind” I wanted to know what the differences are between the various applicators. Here’s what you can do to duplicate my experimenting:
Get new and unused pads, a foam pad, a terry pad, and a microfiber pad. Pick a relatively mar free area on your paint. Put <B>no product</B> on any of the pads and rub a small area with moderate pressure using each <B>dry</B> pad. You probably gonna say, “<I>What? Rub my beautiful paint with a <B>dry</B> applicator! Not in this lifetime!</I>” Well, I did - and now I know why I use what I use. BTW, it did take some polishing to get rid of the marring that the testing caused.
