So the second time I used my new ZCS, I dropped my ZCS only Zaino applicator pad on the garage floor. In the trash it went, I`m not taking any chances.
I don`t have any other Zaino applicator pads that haven`t been used before. What other kind of applicator pads work well with this stuff that I can go buy locally? Foam, microfiber, ???

I know this isn`t local, but I got some of these: Wax N` Polish Applicator - WCDetail Products (http://www.wcdetail.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=94) and I can`t tell the difference between them and the Zaino applicators.

any cotton pad will work
Meguiar`s Gold Class MF Even-Coat Applicator works well with Zaino polishes/sealants. Available locally.

Meijer department stores carry a set of applicators with a thin cotton outter surface. Been meaning to take a pic and post, but I used one for CS application the other day and it worked real well. I think I paid $4.00 for a set of 2 applicators.
I`ll try to remember to post some pics.

Any soft cotton locally available applicator will do. You can also make your own cotton applicators by cutting up an old "still soft" 100% white cotton towel. These are what I use to do areas like engine compartment amd rubber trimming which tend to stain my "dedicated" paint only cotton applicators. I want the "paint-only" pads to stay ultra -white. :wavey

Wow! 75 cents as opposed to Zaino`s $2.50. Thanks, Bro!!!

That`s strange. I clicked on the link yesterday, bought a dozen plus some towels, and FedX says they are on the way. Further, within 30 seconds of completing my order the guy called me up! he`d been in my area once and we just chatted for about ten minutes. We talked about the weather, zaino, and some new drying towels he`s going to be getting in. He taught school for 12 years, moved when he got into th towel business. Etc. I must say, I`ve never had that happen before.

Yeah, Rob is pretty gregarious. If you browse around his store too much or order...you`re likely to hear from him :chuckle:

I have found that I`ve had the best luck applying CS with a MF pad.
