Hi guys,
I am thinking of applying some AIO polish and then seal the paint. I think the paint is a bit on the soft side. Which applicator would you use for that MF or soft foam?

Some foams are soft but the cell walls slightly abrasive. I would use microfibre.

A fine microfibre cloth is better for applying polish by hand, or can use a foam pad on a rotary polishing machine followed by clean long pile cloth or lambs wool buffing pad to remove.

Foam applicator pads are better for applying wax - glaze or sealer after polishing.

Hi,

personally i always use a soft foam polishing pad but i think also medium should do fine.
