Applicators?

[blake_]

I have some Meguiars Color X and am wondering what do I use to apply? I found some terycloth hand towels, 12 for $5.99. Or do I use 100% hand towels for applying?

terry cloth will work just fine. it should say what to take it off with on the bottle.

I would use a terry cloth and read the directions it should say what to use. Some say a terry cloth others say a microfiber or foam applicator. And do you mean the Scratch X? Or is it a different product?

[blake_]

It says Color X, "Bring back Original Color, Helps remove fine scratches & swirls, and adds Extra long-lasting polymer protection."

It says on the back to use a 100% cotton terrycloth towel to apply and to remove. So, theres my answer right? heh thanks for the help.

He is using meguars colorX, its one of megs most powerful cleaner waxes.

Dont use towels to apply. Get yourself meguiars high tech applicator pads or terry cloth applicators or microfiber applicators.

oh yeah, i've seen those. i think at Autozone, which i rarley go to. Pep Boys has a pretty good selection. at least mine does.

I primarily go to pepboys, carquest and napa for my *over the counter* car care products. They seem to have the best selection.

I wish i had a carquest around here. i've also always wanted to check out a O'Reillys.

If I were to use these, will one take care of the whole car? Or do I use one for one half, and 1 for the other half? And, would I want to use a terrycloth towel to remove the excess? Or just use a foam applicator to remove the excess? Anyways, thanks for the help everyone.

Dang, we are really starting on the basics on this one, no offense lol

To answer some questions anyways though.
Yes you could use 1 on the whole car if your applying wax/sealant or cleaner wax.
You do not use applicators to remove products, the name *applicator* should give this answer away lol
Yes you can use terry cloth remove any product you applied to the paint. Although i would recomend microfiber towels instead, they work much better than terry cloth.

BTW, please use thread titles that pertain to your questions/concerns/showing off...whatever.
