I've been reading detailing forums for a few years now and have never seen anyone mention anything like this.

3M sanding block and a folded microfiber towel= a great KAIO appilcator or any polish that needs to be worked. It also works great for hand polishing with a diminishing abrasive like Meguiars ScratchX or Zaino Z-PC Fusion. The Block cost at the most $5. By being able to apply equal heavy or light pressure this tool does the job and is easy to use.

Fold a microfiber towel into 1/3's

Make sure the block you buy has nails to secure towel

Cool, that could be a neat hack for me to try polishing by hand while I save up to get a PC. But do the nails rip and tear into the MF towel? I wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly good towel. Where did you pick up the block at: Home Depot, Lowes, ACE Hardware?
 
Hey Mike, in your other thread you mentioned how you applied Zaino with a MF attached to some plastic handle thingie? Got a picture of that setup? How does the sanding block compare to the plastic handle? And do you have any recommendations on which polishes to use by hand? I found this thread today on Poorboy's World's forum and this guy got some good result using the SSR polishes: poorboysworld.net :: View topic - can the ssr products be applied by hand?.
 
Using the 4" orange pad with a handle seem to have more of a cut than this microfiber tool but not that much.
