Applying polish

[Lolt345]

What's the best to use to apply polish?



I was thinking of using Sonus Der Wunder Polishing Towel to apply polish. Will this work good?

DIfferent people do it differently, but I always just use a MF towel to apply when doing it by hand, you I'd say your approach is fine.

I like using my PC.

If you don't have one, you might want to consider a polishing foam pad. You can get them at most auto parts stores.

If I'm not mistaken, a terry towel works pretty well. I've never done this personally, but I believe I remember someone saying the terry towel will have more bite (i.e. be more aggressive) which is what you want when removing swirls.

Yeah, you're right. But note that sometimes the terry cloth will have so much bite that you'll have to follow up with a milder approach because of all the (hopefully micro)marring the terry will leave. Not always, but sometimes.

I like using a MF applicator (brick type) 'cause it doesn't absorb product like foam can. use to use terry applicators but IMHO the MF apps are better.

Best way by hand IMO is with a MF towel or pad, or a soft terry pad.

A terry applicator works great, though slightly more aggressively than a foam pad. If you want to try the less aggressive road, I'd recommend a foam pad.
