What do the people that have used it think? Does it make putting on a LSP easier/faster?

Also has anyone used it with a clay bar? Is it easier to hang on to the clay?

Here`s one, I suspect they are all the same product regardless of brand name. I have one but have yet to use it:

Good, it the sense that it offers different levels of aggressive pads and gives you a little stubby handle to grab onto.

The light cutting pads works a lot better at removing swirls by hand than a regular foam applicator.

The handle on mine (still unused) is soft so as to allow a good grip unlike, say, a wooden or plastic grip.

I bought one several weeks ago and love it. I will never wax again without one. The pad choices are similar to what is available for a PC. I used the orange pad that came with the Wolfgang Polishin Pal and Poorboys Pro Polish and the results were very good. It saves your fingers from the cramping that
you get using a applicator. I used the grey finishing pads to apply my Poorboys Ex and then Nattys Blue. I have not bought a PC yet and will be very soon. You really need one to correct swirls and polish. I will not however use the PC for the LSP as I have read that Steve (PB`s) suggest the LSP be done by hand as the PC might remove some of the LSP layer from previous
sealant or wax. That is just an opinion and we all have our own. But you can`t go wrong using one of the Polishing Pals. They are just a good tool for detailing.

Thankfully I have a PC, but was looking to use this mainly with my LSP or maybe for places that the PC can`t get to very easily while polishing.

Did you get the pinnacle one? What did it come with?

Where can I buy the Lake County one? It was around $20 and came with the different pads and the thing to use clay?

my only question is how herd is it to get product onto the pad? It seems you would have to take the wax out of the jar and I dont like that task.but I like the idea very much.

Here are the links to the Pinnacle and the Wolfgang. They are on sale
right now for 19.99 and if you buy them here there is no shipping charges.
They are both the same just different color handles. They both come with
2 orange cutting pads.

Glen I just took the Nattys jar and turn it upside down and the wax disk
came out of the jar in my hand and then I could just rub the applicator
on the disk to load it up. I held the wax disk in my hand thru the application
process and just put it back in the jar when finished. No problemo!

Looks like I`ll probably be picking one up. I`m not sure if I`m the biggest fan of holding the wax in my hand though. Maybe I can find another container to put it in.

No ones used it with the clay?
