Default Applicator pads

Hey everyone.

What are cheap, but good applicator and buffing pads to polish a car by hand?
I'm from Europe.

I am partial to Griot's products. You might want to try their hand applicator (I have not) for . https://www.autogeek.net/griots-gara...pplicator.html

There is also another applicator if you just need fine polishing and wax not correction.

X2 on the Griots.

After years of using other waxes and cleaners. I tried Griots. I have used their products with a buffer . I have also used their hand applicators and they work great . Here are a couple of Pix of my 69 with an old repaint that I hand polished and waxed to see how salvageable the pain was. one before when I brought it home and one after a quick hand polish and hand wax. World of difference. Cheap applicators and waxes aren't worth the effort if you are hand waxing.
