Meguiar's X3070 Soft Foam 4" Applicator Pads - 2 Pads

See my profile for a product review in depth with using this with the Maguiar's Motorcycle Care kit.https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/A34HARSTX7V65JQuick wash spray is very convenient. For those in between waxes and polishes this really gets the dirt off. Cleaned the wheels well and removes all the break dust , pollen, or anything else. The bottle is pretty small but you can make it go further if you put a little bit of dawn in with it.The Metal Polish works great and even helps with minor scratches. Meguiar's sells an applicator that I used and it complements this product well. The engine usually builds up quickly with grease and it really cuts through it rather nicely.The plastic polish is great as well but for someone with a mostly metal bike I don't get too much use out of it. I use this on my fenders and it works. If you have a sport bike this is definitely needed!Paint Polish is great for cleaning up any gas splashes that you get from time to time. It seems to also leave shine over it that protects future splashes ruining the paint.The Leather and vinyl polish... What more can I say for a cruiser bike, It's something you must have to keep the UV Rays from damaging your leather. I use this on my saddle bags and seat and it works wonderful!Included cloth: AWESOME. I recommend also purchasing Meguiar's X3070 Soft Foam 4" Applicator Pads. Use one for each different product so they do not mix polishes.I will be repurchasing once this is all up. I'm very pleased with the product.

Excelent product.

This pad makes it easy to apply rubbing or polishing compound to your cars finish.

I bought this product in 2016 after I put some serious "brush scratches" into my new truck while hunting. I had a new aluminum style truck, and ended up getting in way over my head. I spent nearly $800 at a professional detailer getting the scratches out, which amazingly, 99% were polished out. I'm sure, based on the other reviews, this will get the job done for the casual at home wax/polishing.

Nothing is worse for someone who puts all that elbow grease and effort into keeping their ride looking new... Than disgusting swirls! Well for how cheap these are always use a new one is one of the handful of steps needed to avoid these.Step 1 is always using quality microfiber towels. Griots, and kevian clean are two. That i use. They soak up soo much more wax and moistures and more important they are super soft and will never leave swirls. ( u do have to take care of them as all microfibers are magnets to debri so keeping them free of that is crucial) no matter what swirls happen but these steps will reduce them dramatically. The more u wax ur car the more u will see swirls so this is crucial. Now any real detailer knowsU eventually have to use buffing compund and rid all if these swirls. This only needs to be done aFew times in a cars life and each time it is done properly... The clear coat looks gleaming new and swirl free. All this isngetting to the point of keeping your pads new and high quality microfiber towels clean will make swirls much less of a worry than it could be. Example: simply buying cheaper microfiber like walmwrt ones that come in a multicolor pack and are labeled premium micriber (no they are anything but) will scratch ur car. Microfiber is not pure cotton it is plastic based and cheaper ones like thise are not aoft enough and will scratch ur clear coat. Migrofiber are graded by GSM and 400GSM is typically the minimum for a premium towel. Even meguires so called premium do not have a good GSM rating but at least they are soft enough not to scratch. So i use those as my wet or damp ones for applying and use the good ones for removing be it was, polish, or quick wax or detail spray.

I use these pads for two things: Applying wax/sealant to my car's finish and for applying conditioner to my vinyl convertible top.I have an orbital buffer that I use to polish my car, however when I'm just looking to apply a wax or sealant, these do a great job. They are very soft, so assuming the car's finish is clean, they won't do any damage to it. One important note is that these WONT work well at all for polishing. You want a firmer, more abrasive pad for that (either very firm foam, or cotton).On the convertible top these are superior to the cotton and microfiber pads because they absolutely will not leave any lint. Due to the abrasive texture of most convertible tops, microfiber cloths shed terribly when applying protectant. These foam pads do not.

The Meguiar's foam applicators are so much easier to work with than those round terry cloth ones. If you're into applying liquid wax, compound, polish, etc. by hand, these pads are the ones that make it the easiest to do so. I use to always get the terry cloth ones to soak up the wax and then bind to the paint instead of smoothly applying the product. These foam pads don't do that. Of course, you shouldn't need to put a lot of wax or polish on the pad in the first place. The foam pad spreads the product very easily and evenly. They're also very easy to wash and quick to dry.These are the next best thing to using a machine.

These work okay, but they have a hard seam the runs around the edge of the applicator pad. I was concerned that the hard seam would scratch the paint on my car. As a result, I would not recommend these. Overall, I prefer the ones that are contained within a terry cloth protector.
