At an online store the blue applicators are $3 each, and the yellows are $2 each. I plan on using the Klasse twins, so I guess I want blue for the AIO, and yellow for the SG, from what I can tell. But are these prices rediculous? And how many do you guys think I need to do my car?





Thanks

Actually, we barely sell the applicators above cost. The problem with applicators is the price to ship from the USA to us due to the large box size (Despite how light it is). Some US stores sell the Yellow applicator for the same $2.. But $2.00USD

Most Micro-Terry applicators (Which is what the blue ones are) are a bit more. I assure you we don't jump up and down cheering every time we sell an applicator! LOL.
 
Just to bump this back up and reply to my own post, I've been reassured that these prices are not at all unacceptable... I saw yellow pads for $1.79 USD, and eshine has then for $2 Canadian, so the prices are normal.



But I would still appreciate a tip on how many to buy. I don't know how many are needed to do an application of the Klasse twins. Any help is appreciated.



Cheers!

What exactly are you speaking of? Foam applicator pads? Microfiber?



Why would you need 2 different ones?



With foam pads, you can reuse them over and over so spending a few bucks for one will last you for a while.
 
I thought you needed a different pad for applying Klasse All iN one, and a different pad for the Klasse Sealant Glaze. Is just the foam pads enough?

These Blue Terry/Foam Polishing applicator Pads are perfect for hand applying polishes such as Klasse All-In-One, Wolfgang Pre-Wax Cleaner and others.



Applicator Yellow Foam Sealant/Carnauba. Details



These yellow applicators work great for Carnauba Waxes and Synthetic Sealants. They make thin layers much easier due to their micro foam design.

Nate, the blue applicators are made of foam but have a micro Terry face to them (Not Microfiber, just really small terry loops). These do work best with polishes and offer more cleaning ability and more bite than just a plain foam applicator.



The yellow applicators are just foam with no terry. These applicators make spreading sealants thinly and evenly much easier than a terry faced applicator. Using the blue applicator on a sealant makes it tough to get a consistent thin layer.



No you do not need 100! LOL. I admit I personally use a lot of them mostly due to laziness and not cleaning the old ones. I also use them for applying tire shines and dressing the dash. Each time you use a different chemical you must either clean it or simply use another. Once again due to laziness and wanting to save time, I just grab another.
 
Never said that anyone would need 100 foam pads..although we do. I was stating that with a little research they could be had cheaply.
