Question about polishing cloths!

[Len]

gonna ask a sensible question!

Polishing cloths?
what material?

I am currently using the normal cotton cloths from Halfords using Autoglymm Resin then super (gold)

Should I be using a better cloth? Lambswool?
If so what and where from?

you can use either foam applicators (Meguairs do these) or Microfibre cloths.

Have a look at seriousperformance.co.uk - they do 5 of the cloths for £12 or thereabouts

for applying:

also available from halfords.

for removing/buffing even drying:

or the meguiars eqivalent is also available from halfords in a 3 pack. i like these ones as they have silk binding which reduces the chances of scratching.

thats what they all say!

which ever cloths and pads you get, just take care of them.

pads need to be cleaned otherwise the organic stuff in polishes / wax etc can go mouldy.

cloths are best washes with a liquid cleaner and the granules can get stuck in the fibres and lead to swirls.  dont use conditioner too

I personally use the meguirs ultra plush, and applicator pads for polish and cotton applicator pads for wax as they can take more punishment.
