One of the main benefits of using this foam, wrapped in microfiber applicator is that it does a better job of laying down coating evenly in contours in comparison to the traditional hard block applicators that the industry has been using for the past decade. And with the moisture barrier between the foam and the microfiber, the coating won't soak in. With this, you can easily use both sides of the applicator before having to pitch it (use one side now, and the other side later!). This smaller version is sized approximately the same as the standard/traditional foam block + 4 x 4 suede cloth style coating applicators.
Note: Each side of the applicator is designed for a one-time use since coatings cure and harden on the surface. Once both sides have been used, discard the applicator.
