    I checked out 2 Big Lots. The first one I went to was small and they didn't have anything interesting (just 2-3 Turtle Wax mitts and Meguiar's 3 detail brushes, the one with the brass nylon and that other brush). The 2nd one I went to was bigger and they had a nice amount of applicator pads. I wiped them out, got 33 :) A lot will be going to Ketil! They didn't have the slide lock brush or anything good like that..

    I don't know if it's me or something, but I opened one and it smells like bacon or something. I'm not kidding :D well it smells like some sort of food

    OH YEAHHH!!! I forgot I got the 20% off.... Haha I was just like WOW! Well it's pretty much as soft as the Meg's pad. I'm gonna test it out on paint when I can. It feels paint worthy when I run my fingers across the pad. They don't seem limp either.

    They are nothing like the Megs Pads the megs pads are much more plush and soft

    These pads are more along the lines of the ones AG has for sale.

    Nica - Hahah you'd probably clean out some places :D

    Dannyk - I don't know what made me smell it lol

    Tonya - Thanks!

    FMINUS - I "feel" the megs pads are superior, but the TW ones aren't bad. I just need to test em out.

    I jsut went back to look at them, they seem to be a tad bit thicker and bigger than the ones from AG.

    For the $ they are the best.

    the megs pads are by far the best...the TW ones are still good..they get the job done..

    Congratulations, Klumzypinoy. I picked up 34 of the foam applicators myself at $.40.

    Dollar General is your best bet for the slide lock brush. While looking for the wheel face brushes, I've seen about 4 dozen slide lock brushes for $2.50 each at Dollar General.

    If I recall correctly, I picked up the following from Big Lots:
    Versa-Angle Body Brush
    Wide Body Brush
    Versa-Angle Wheel Spoke Brush
    Slide Lock Brush

    And these from Dollar General:
    Versa-Angle Tire Brush
    Wheel Face Brush
    Slide Lock Brush (spare)
    Interior Brush (wish I could find a couple more)
    (Chenelle?) Wash Sponge
    Passed on the wash mitts
