This product is your standard microfiber applicator sponge -- microfiber on the outside, sponge on the inside, with no rough edges, seams, or tags. It met my expectations with no surprises, so you can probably feel confident in your purchase if that's what you're looking for. It's not particularly plush, nor is it too sparing of a microfiber weave/blend. It's a decent product that fits the requirement.

Even with a light hand, these microfiber sponges tend to compress over time, so I had to spend a few extra seconds allowing it to re-expand. At the end of the day, if I folded over a smaller microfiber towel a few times and used the same light hand, I would get the same effect as the sponge with a similar amount of effort; you might not even need to purchase one in that regard.

Some folks like microfiber applicator sponges and feel like they more evenly apply waxes/sealants. I tend to prefer foam applicator pads since I get more control, though sometimes that means I have to go back to the bottle a few more times for additional goop. Just something to think about when making your purchase.

Good quality, and great for use with ceramic coating applications, purchased a few and will buy more.

This is identical to my previous pad that I have had for years. Hope this lasts as long. As someone else noted, it does absorb a lot of product, but it is easy to use and works very well with paste wax. I dampen it with a little distilled water before use.
