    Lake Country foam sticks ???

    Does anyone have these?



    My question is how far will the foam end of the stick collapse before it will bottom on the wooden part. I want a foam stick that has at least 5 to 6mm travel (almost 1/4-in).

    The typical craft type stick usually has the stiffener almost to the end.

    What I have is a cowling that has grooved pockets. The best thing I have found so far is q-tips or the flat paint sponges (craft type) but easy to dab into many many pockets.

    It extends a little bit less than 1/2 inch past the stick. It also feels like there is a little rubber BB or pellet on the tip.

    Can`t wait to try these out! I think these would be perfect for certain grille cleansing. In fact I just worked on a MB C300 recently and would loved to have had something like this. If you pick these up Al, please give us a solid review.

    Todd, do you know if the wheel woolies are coming over too? I`ve been wanting to try those out as well.

    I just been using Q-Tips lately because of the different size lug nut holes out there. A few time I have to use some S100 Motorcycle Detailing Swabs.

    That would have been nice to use on a Bentley Continental GT that I worked on last November. That grill was a PITA!

    Truth! I used the small Wheel Woolies with Optimum Metal Polish on this Flying Spur`s grill. It was definitely time consuming but worth the results.
