The Square Bear

Ergonomic, cute, practical

By: Lawrence on 2 July 2025

Works perfectly for applying treatments and cleaners to larger, delicate surfaces in the car. Pairs really well with Leather Love and Leather Guard, and is gentle enough for spot-cleaning grubby headliners with Fabra Cadabra. Unlike a sponge, it doesn't absorb the product—so a little goes a long way! It's easy to hold and supple enough to flex into crevices and seat folds.

Saves my product going to waste

I've used my square bear about 3-4 times now and so far I'm really happy with it. It does just as it says, it doesn't soak up all of the product. I use it for applying vinyl care to my dash and doors etc. Fits nicely in the palm of my hand too. Thanks for a great little product Bowdens.

This is no ordinary bear

I have got a plethora of square bears in my Detailing kit , they're a integral part of any application of interior or external product protection you're pride and joy needs , the square bear is so soft it won't damage any dash , leather seats or the vinyl trim on the skirt of your car , they absorb the chosen product you wish to use and then releases it as you wipe , they don't leave lint like other cheap ones you can pick up for a few dollars, square bears longevity is due too high quality material that was used in the first place , I have square bears that are a couple of years old and from caring for them correctly after I have finished using them I'm confident I'll get a good few more years outta of them , and I put that down too how I wash them , I only use Bowden's microfibre wash, it's been scientifically made for the entire range of Bowden's microfibre cloths and too safely remove Bowden's products out of them , I highly recommend the square bear they are a must if you wanna keep your pride and joy looking brand new.

Square Bear Goodness.

This little product really makes cleaning the inside of the car so much easier,i was previously spraying the vinyl care onto a microfibre towel,,with this little beauty a little spray goes such a long way.

I love these things!

I've tried a LOT of microfiber applicators over the years, but this one is the best for interior dressings I reckon. I was skeptical of the square shape initially, but ultimately the size and shape works well. The key difference for me is the softness and thickness of the Square Bear compared to other applicators - it just feels perfect in the hand, and the thicker body seems to hold and release just the right amount product. If you want a thin and light coat, just spray and apply as normal. If want a little more wetness (to get in a nook or textured surface for example), just load up the pad and press it gently on the surface when required - the product releases wonderfully from the soft spongey bits. Give these a go, you won't regret it

Underrated

These things are seriously awesome. Spray the product onto the bear and you get a perfect and even application of product. Fits nicely in your hand and makes cleaning things like leather seats and your car dash completely effortless and very quick to use.
