The Autofiber Thin Microfiber Coating Applicator Sponge with Plastic Barrier (often referred to as the Saver Applicator) is engineered to solve a common problem with microfiber applicators: they can absorb too much product—especially low-viscosity coatings—which can lead to wasted material. This applicator adds a hydrophobic barrier layer between the microfiber and the sponge to help prevent product from soaking into the sponge and to reduce excess buildup that can become gummy/tacky as coatings begin to cure. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Key Benefits
Hydrophobic barrier layer helps stop excess coating from soaking into the sponge (product-saving design). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Helps limit product buildup that can become gummy and tacky during coating cure. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Microfiber + sponge applicator format designed for easier, quicker application (as described). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Two-tone to differentiate from standard applicators (both sides function the same). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Colors may vary. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Best Use Cases
Applying ceramic coatings where product control matters (lower-viscosity coatings mentioned). :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Applying waxes and polishes (listed as vessel wax and polish applicator sponges). :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
How to Use
Apply product to the microfiber face of the applicator.
Spread evenly on the surface using controlled, overlapping passes.
As the coating begins to cure, the barrier design helps reduce soak-through and excessive internal loading (as described). :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Note: Always follow your coating manufacturer’s instructions for application and leveling timing.

FAQ
What makes it “Saver” / product-saving? The built-in hydrophobic barrier helps prevent coating product from soaking through into the sponge. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
Do the two sides work differently? No—two-tone is only to differentiate it from standard applicators; both sides function the same. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
