Where are you buying them from? Swissvax?  :stupid:

As above, buy in bulk.

I tend to get my stuff from Elite car care and they have 6 applicators for £6, and multipurpose microfibres at 10 for £10 - so both items £1 each. Can be bought cheaper elsewhere. Beware applicators off egay - they tend to from china and are cheap tat.

FWIW, you'll use microfibres and applicators more than anything.

Haha, I was looking on waxamomo and polished bliss since they have the 3 for 2 on AutoFinesse products. I was looking at the individual towels by Dodo, Chemical Guys and Poor Boy's. The cheapest towels on their are £5-6 and the cheapest applicators are a few quid each. But yes bulk buying looks to be much much better.

Cheers guys,

Those towels are drying towels, not buffing towels, hence the cost. Usually 1-2 drying towels are enough for the whole car.

The drying towels are £10-12 each! They are listed under polishing towels for "buffing off glaze and polishes". But yes it definitely looks like there are better places to get hold of them.

I use the dodo juice super soft drying towel it's a big yellow one! And is double stitched so like two in one! Really worth the little extra for that! Then I have mainly meguires applicator pads come in 2 or 3 pack. For buffing cloths I use the elite own brand grey ones with a black edging as they have a slightly denser microfibres on one side so work well for removing wax and then flipping over for buffing up. Buying in bill for towels are always best :) good luck
