Terry applicator pads from AutoZone ok?

[Slinky]

Are these terry applicator pads from autozone ok to use to wax? they also sell MF applicators, but i've heard the absorb too much.



What does everyone else use?



(I enjoy waxing so PC is out of the question haha)

I find that the Meg's foam applicators do the best job for wax or sealants..



the terry ones will work good if you want to hand polish paint...they add some bite when doing some corrections...

For wax application, I use the round foam pads. I believe Autozone sells these for about a dollar each.

You should be fine with terry applicators, just be sure to make sure they are nice and soft. I actually use MF applicators mostly when I use paste waxes, they seem to grab more out of the wax tin better than a foam applicator. Furthermore, the nap of the MF applicator also makes a difference, liquid waxes seem to repsond well to the shorter-nap MF applicators. For liquid waxes, I mostly use my cyclo, but for the hard to reach spots, its usually a MF applictor.
