Chemical Guys Chemical Guys MIC29208 Premium Grade Microfiber Applicators (Pack of 8)Great budget-friendly item to add to the garage arsenal. Microfiber wrapped around medium foam. Works great for sealants and wax application. I used them with liquid wax, and I love that they don't absorb 50% of what you're trying to apply to a surface - like standard foam pads do. You want a bit on the applicator, but enough to prime it so it spreads easier.
If you use liquid products with these, be sure to give them a good pre-soak in hot water and microfiber detergent to break down the wax/sealant. I also like to wash these separately from microfiber towels - especially the ones you dry or clean windows with. These will hold a lot of product which can and most likely will, spread to the rest of everything in the wash.
I use a little bit more microfiber detergent in a small (hot water) load, let it wash half way through the cycle, then stop it so it can soak for 10-15 minutes, and then let it finish on it's own. If you use a dryer, make sure you do it on low heat.
AND ABSOLUTELY NO FABRIC SOFTENERS, that includes dryer sheets. Stay awayyy!
UPDATE!
I have used these things so much that they are finally starting to fall apart. I would say their longevity is excellent - they are made to be replaced at some point anyways. Will definitely replenish my stock this year. I still recommend these over those cruddy white ones!
