Default Cloths and pads

Hi, just got some autoglym Super resin polish as recommended by a detailing site, only thing is, there was no recommend cloths or pads to use to apply the polish and buff it off, any recommendations would be useful
Cheers

Any circular foam pad will be good enough.

Meguiars do some decent cloths and the like.

Hellfrauds sell all of these items, you are looking at about £10.00.

Enjoy the arm workout!

The Muc Off premium micro fibre cloth is very good.

I really rate the CarPro Boa range. Very high quality, lovely and soft and no sewed edges to drag on paintwork!
Available here and elsewhere.

As far as applying, I just use smaller foam pads; any should do.

All you need now is a decent polish like Sonax or Megulars
