I`ve been using some el cheapo cotton wash cloths to apply and wipe interior protectant and shine in my car. It works ok, but I hate the way that it leaves the static charged lint for a while. I would imageine microfiber would do the same thing also. What can I use that will get good coverage without the left behind lint?

A microfiber towel will not leave any lint or any static charge.

I like to use a small sponge to apply interior dressings. A micro fiber towel doesn`t do well because the dressing gets sucked into the towel. For me, it didn`t look good when I tried

a micro fiber towel.:)

I like using the smallmicrofiber waxing pads for treating my interiors with 303 Aerospace protectant. It seems to do a better job than any of the sponge applicators I have used. I also like to keep the pad sealed in a ziplock bag between uses.

I used TOL foam applicators for applying the dressing. And then i use a MF to remove anything remaining.

I typically spray the product directly onto the interior piece -- and then wipe with MF. For smaller locations, I jsut spray a little on the MF towel, and wipe on.

i use a foam applicator and spray the product directly onto it, then spread it around and buff off with a mf towel...

MF towels never worked that well for me... things always get absorbed into it.



I find a MF app (a sheet of MF wrapped aorund a foam sponge) works best.

I`ve converted to using the small foam wax applicators and then I`ll lightly buff the excess with a MF

for rubber/plastic/vinyl I use a detail sponge block



for leather treatments I use a terry cloth applicator

I`ll be using it to apply on my dash and door pannels, which are hard plastic. I`ve used microfibers towels in the past, and they have left lint behind in my experiences. Maybe the applicators would be better. Well, enough to really stand out in an all black interior.

microsponge, spray on sponge and apply, and with most products, alittle goes a long way, I also use quick shot for vents and other tight areas, some surfaces need to be buffed of with a micro using the quick shot
