The moment you tilt to reach the edge of a panel or into a wheel arch, a loose applicator slides, you press harder on one side, and the product goes down thicker where you gripped it. The HELIO is a 5-inch round microfibre applicator with a strap across the back, so the pad stays against your palm and the pressure stays even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand strap holds the pad against your palm, so it does not slip mid-panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-inch round face covers a bonnet or door quickly without overlapping streaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow profile reaches recesses, behind spokes and under door handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrofibre face spreads waxes, sealants and dressings evenly instead of soaking them up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable, so a pair lasts a long time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a 2 pack — keep one for protection and one for dressings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaxes, paint sealants, glazes and spray protection on bodywork, and trim or tyre dressings where you want a controlled amount rather than a spray.
