Applying Zaino...What type of applicator?

I am about to order the whole line of Zaino products...should I also order his "applicator" (sounds like a 100% cotton towel) or something else? How about microfiber towels to apply and remove the Zaino products? One last question, how is the Cobra waffle-weave drying towel found on www.autogeek.net? I want to buy the mitts from there and would prefer to purchase all my microfiber prodcuts from one place. Thanks!

Zaino's applicators are terry cloth sewn around a foam pad. It quickly came apart. I didn't and won't buy them. I got them free with my order. I currently use old terry cloth wash cloths to apply Zaino. Micro fiber would be okay, too.

i agree w/ lynn. the applicator pad were very disappointing... looked like a sponge. fortunately, it was free.

i used the standard wax applicator pads that i bought at a local shop. circular foam(?) discs.

If you want to buy everything form autogeek.net, get their pack of four foam wax applicators to apply Zaino. Then use microfiber towels to remove it. The waffle-weave drying towel is really nice, I would get the large one or maybe the kit that contains both the small and large.
