It says on the instructions do a 50 cm x 50 cm section at a time, after each section is done do you swap to a new cloth ?
And 1 more question do they give you enough applicators and how often do you change to a new one ?

Thanks in advance

Towel choice for ceramic coatings is carefully balanced choice. You want them to high enough in quality to not screw up your polishing and prep work. At the same time, you don't want to be spending too much on a towel you will effectively throw away at the end. You also need to stick to lower pile towels, these work best with ceramic coatings.

I have used Edgeless 245 and currently use Edgeless 300 -

How many towels you use or need will depend on a few different things. Typically, you will be working with two towels at a time, one for the initial wipe to level the coating, the second towel used to remove any remaining residue. You will then swap out your towels every few panels, that will change depending on the weather conditions (humidity/temperature) as the towels become loaded up.

Some will wash the towels in APC straight away and use them again, but I just put them into the rag pile. At a couple of bucks each, that isn't too much of a problem.

The applicators will be swapped out depending on temparatures. You can kinda tell when to do this as they start to get a bit grabby.
