What kind of applicator pad for applying sealant?

[TGates]

I was wondering what most people are using to apply their sealants by hand. I have MF applicator pads and foam pads. I know the foam pads are great for waxing, but what about applying a sealant? My bottle of 4* UPP says to apply two dime size drops to a foam pad. I always just assumed the best to use was the MF, although I can see where it would absorb lots of product. What's the best to use?

I like Meg's Even Coat Applicators for applying #21, EX, and EX-P. They help spread the sealant over the finish evenly and very thinly.

I was using Clearkote MF applicators but found they used to much product, back to yellow foam hand pads now.

I've been using MF applicators -- I tend to use a bit more product on the MFs since some seeps into the pad. I'm going to try the foam pads next!

When doing it by hand, I use the MF applicators. The only thing I use foam for is my Souveran.

Yellow foam pads for me, but for Tropi-Care TC-3 I use a MF applicator.

I've been cutting a Meguiar's ultimate wipe into pieces, and applying wax and sealants by hand. I cut the ultimate wipe into strips, fold into .25's and have found that I really prefer using "cloth" this way over foam.

Another vote for Meguiars foam hand pads. I never use mf pads to apply product.

Are you talking about these?

These are okay to apply sealant with as well?

I have come to prefer foam pads for LSPs.
