Application Pad
What do you all use for product application?
I was using Foam hand pads (small yellow discs) but then started reading that the melted edges on the disc could harm your paint. And people were cutting them off. But then I asked a few veterans and they claim they've never seen this on wax pads.
Then I got to thinking about MF Applicators, or some Cotton Terry apps.
All I'm using this stuff for is Zaino. But the last few pads I used are discolored now (it looks dark like dirt) so I'm guessing I should toss those and looking for alternatives.

Microfiber for Klasse SG. The only product I use MF apps for.
Everything else is foam. I have never had a problem with those melted edges actually touching the paint. I cut the edges off just to reduce some area that the applicator can absorb wax.
I use Terry for tire dressing, vinyl dressing, and leather conditioner.

Polishing pad on the PC for Meguiar's #9 2.0
Polishing pad on the PC for AIO
Finishing pad on the PC for Platinum UPP
Foam pad for areas that the PC doesn't get into easily
Old terry towels for 303 on vinyl, another terry towel for 303 on tires
Platinum leather conditioner with fingers, seems like I can massage it into the leather better that way

I just use the rediculously expensive Zymol wax applicator pads for my Zymol Carbon.
I've never had a problem.  |

Just started using one of those not long ago. It doesn't slip out of your hand as easily as the small pads. I had thought the larger size might create some problems, but so far it really hasn't. Seems to work good. When the S100 gets down in the jar, it may require some thinking to continue to use the Viking, though.

Welp I stopped by my local Autozone and Advance Auto to pick up some Foam wax pads, and neither place had any  They both carry the viking discs with cotton over them...
I guess I'll have to get 'em online

Foam for everything except when applying Z by machine...in which case I use an MF bonnet lined on the inside with saran wrap (saves product...some other autopian posted this method). Coats go on real thin, hardly any waste in product & the bonnets are easier to clean than foam pads.
