I love the look of Meguiar's - but I hate spending 3+ hours on my car. In the beginning it was fun but soon I realized that a good looking car doesn't happen in less than 2 hours.
When I apply polish or wax with a rotary buffer - I'm using a wax pad (as apposed to the terry cloth ones I remove it with). But I find the products always seem to dry or run out before I move onto the next section. For the record, its cool to the touch, but warm air (in shade or indoors..never in the sun) when I do this.
Its always goes on too thick initially and then by the time I've moved over to a new section the pad seems dry.
Should i wet the pads first with water? What is the proper amount of wax/polish you should see? Should it be heavy enough you see it? or is a very faint almost nothing look better? its getting the right amount / coverage/thickness that I'm having issues with.
How often does one stop to apply more to the pad? or should I just keep moving even though it doesn't look like its applying anything?
Tips? Tricks?
