Interesting, I have had a quick look on their website and they stock quite a bit of cleaning stuff - didn't know that!

These are awesome for hand use or machine. Better than any flat yellow applicator I've used.

I've started using these for wax which I find to be much better than the Megs pads that I used before.

To be honest there's virtually no difference in terms of performance (that I've noticed anyway), I simply find the foam finger jobbies more ergonomic which makes them that much easier to work with - essentially, it's just personal preference really.
