I have waxed a lot of cars in my day. I have been doing detail jobs on the side for years and I want to someday do it as a full-time job with my own business. I believe this makes me qualified to make an intelligent review. The thing about applicators is you don't want to use a towel or a foam pad. The towel isn't thick enough, and your hand will press funny in spots and not in others. Foam pads apply even pressure but the texture is weird and unsuitable for a truly good job. Now these pads are foam wrapped in microfiber cloth. They work great and you can wash them over and over again. I pretty much use only Meguiar's products and this is why. They make the best stuff out there.

These pads are simply the best out there for applying wax. As another reviewer mentioned, they are basically a foam pad on the inside with a microfiber cloth wrapped around the exterior. This literally gives the best of both worlds! The foam interior gives the pad shape which allows for an even application of wax. The microfiber outside makes sure that you don't scratch your car as you apply it. Also, I've noticed that for liquid waxes in particular, a sponge applicator seems to absorb a lot of the wax into the sponge itself, which is sort of a waste. A rolled up microfiber towel avoids this absorption but it is very unwieldy and it's difficult to apply a smooth and even pressure on. Again, these applicators solves those issues by combining the two. Also, these pads are a nice size, probably about 5 inches in diameter, which allows you to cover a large area very quickly. I find the pads that come with many wax kits to be far too small, which just means more work for you to cover your car. Finally, washing these out is a snap and each applicator is durable enough for many waxes. Get these, you won't regret it!

Owning an older car that I love, this was a must.

The product does what it supposed to do. Although I have not yet tried to wash and reuse the applicator cover, I do like the fact that there are no hard-stitched seams that can cause light surface scratching.

I wax our 4 cars twice a year, and have used everything from microfiber cloths to sponges to apply car wax. This product actually gives you the best of both. It fits well in your hand and allows you to apply wax evenly and completely. I recommend it.

I was skeptical that these would work as I have never had much luck with the old terry cloth versions. These are wonderful. Had to use an oxidation remover followed by polish and then wax. They worked great for each and were just really great at reducing the work on a pretty elbow grease intensive project. Great investment for $6.

These are nice applicators & reasonably priced. I used them with Meguiar's G14422 Ultimate Quick Detailer & just wish I would have bought a few bigger micro towels to use with this product (my fault) but they hold up well & should be great for waxing.

I am using it with Meguiars gold class liquid wax. Great and easy to use. Even application with soft sponge. It traps dirt easily. Keep my ride shinny and clean.

These applicators are made well and really make a messy job easy...buy these to wax your car and you won't be disappointed...!!!

Works as advertised and feels very soft on the paint, used to rub in the scratch remover and was felt good using. Can't really do much describing this other than it does what it's supposed to, is solidly constructed and is large enough for an adult male to hold in one hand each and transfer the pressure towards the job.

That's it...

As with all Meguiars products, this one does not dissappoint. I think it's better than the foam applicators as it seems to leave less marks. Great product.
