Nobody uses cotton/terry applicators?
I've been using the Zaino cotton applicators for several years. I find that foam applicators absorb the product too much and are difficult for me to use (although that Viking one looks interesting). Once I coat a dampened cotton applicator it seems to work nicely. No problem with scratches/marring from what I can see. The Zaino appliators have a nice nap and are very soft.
Cleaning is a bit of a PITA though. They never seem to get clean so I find myself buying a bunch and using a new one each time. Gets expensive.
I am wondering about the MF ones. Still debating using them since I've heard good and bad and want try some towels first.
