When applying a polish, glaze, sealant, wax or other detailing product you will apply light to firm pressure through your applicator pad to make contact with the clear coat. Its extremely important that you have a paint safe applicator that will not add micro-scratches to the clear coat. The Microfiber Applicators ability to be cleaned and soft texture ensures that no micro scratches are added during the application. The Microfiber Applicator pad is very durable, so it can be washed and reused time and time again. Every unique product you apply should have its own applicator pad so you do not mix your products and cross contaminate a pad. Microfiber applicator pads are the product of choice for safe and easy hand applications.
