while at walmart tonight (was looking for shoelaces for my nephew) i stumpled across these in the shoe section, and thought they would work great for applying dressings to skinny side plastic panels/moldings, plastic vent area at the bottom of the windshield, and so forth (also keeps your hands clean). i bought a pack (contains 2 applicators) and cost $4.25 and the width of the small round foam is 1.75" (a little larger than a half dollar coin)...

Kiwi foam shoe polish applicators make applying paste or cream shoe polish quick and easy. Large built-in handles keep hands clean. The sturdy foam base allows the polish to be applied smoothly and evenly. For a brilliant shine, follow the easy steps.

Nice find. I was wondering where to find something like this. I usually find stuff at the art store but everything in those stores is expensive.

wouldn`t it be better to buy some cheapo sponges from the $ store and cut them up in squares ;)

i have a bunch of different applicators and i`ve gone the route of cutting up sponges and they really don`t do it for me (didn`t really care for the foam brushes as well as they don`t have even pressure all the way across the tip and get flimsy) and sometimes using the normal yellow foam applicators gets tedious at times. i just used these (just washed the car) and they worked pretty well and i didn`t get dressing all over my hands (i wear latex gloves anyways). just apply one drop of dressing (if using gel) in the center and have at it...
