Default Opti Seal

Which applicator do you guys prefer with Opti-seal- MF, Cotton, or Foam??

I've been using foam. Never tried anything else. Any opinions??

I have the best luck with foam applicators. I actually use the ones you just got Heath.

I've heard of some guys having good luck with microfiber applicators as well.

Yea, I don't think the pads that come with it work that well at all.

I just stick with the typical yellow foam applicators. I haven't tried anything else yet.

The pads that come with it really aren't that great. Actually, I never even use any type of yellow foam applicators for LSP anymore.

I *love* the double sided, long ovular (does that make any sense?) pads with the finishing pad material on one side and cutting foam on the other.

I get great results with it with not only OS, but most waxes/sealants.

I only use MF applicators to apply sealants.
