I have a VW Eagle 1 leather care kit that came with an awesome foam applicator pad that i used for waxing and it is perfect. It`s dark grey and maybe 3.5 inches in diameter. my question is does anyone know where i might find more applicators like these for a reletively inexpensive price? I`ve checked Autozone and all theirs are turtle wax or something similar that is foam covered in cotton terry, but i`m planning on using zaino and i just feel that the foam doesn`t absorb like the terry covered applicator. Any help would be cool.

I use the foam ones from CMA, they are Cheep and work great for my Zaino:up

I recall someone mentioning that they swear by the gray Viking brand ones sold at some Autozones but you had a peek there already. I picked some Meguiar’s pads up at the local Kragen, really like them. They are disc shaped and 4.25†diameter and don`t soak up a lot of product.

ok, i remember seeing the vikings at autozone. i just didn`t jump on em cuz they were huge compared to the little dinkers that i currently have. Guess i`ll just wear these out and then get some from autozone. also, any guess as to how long i can rinse out an applicator and reuse it?

Pads? Need some pads? I like the ones CMA has. And Eagle One and Meguiars has good ones at fair prices, too.

Hye Brad.. thats a really nice box to store all the applicators, and a nice little sign as well..



Where did u buy the box, and did you make the Applicator sign yourself?

I really like both foam and microfiber applicator pads. Foam saves the most product for waxing but it doesn`t provide sufficient “oomph†for paint cleansers or polishes. Microfiber applicators do, but are usually more expensive. Try both and see which one you like more...

<strong class=`bbc`>[/b] I just checked YoSteve`s site, and now you can try 2 foam and 2 MF applicators for $6.99 with free shipping. It`s a great deal... http://www.yosteveshop.homestead.com/order.html (`http://www.yosteveshop.homestead.com/order.html`) <strong class=`bbc`>[/b]

I get the bins at a store called Containers and More. It`s a store that specializes in organizing boxes, shelves and such. They are found everywhere.



I make the tags myself, print `em and laminate them.



Not shown are backing pads I have that reinforce pads when I want more "oomph" behind pads. They work great!
