Preferred Wax Application Method?

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

Yup, , definately, that's what I was referring to, and I would give them a clean per car side before you're gonna apply to the other half. Plus, don't ziplock them air tight as that prevents them from drying properly. This will give you the ability to reclean them and scrape away any dryed wax before using again.

Hmmm....I can't say the same myself.

Whenever I apply a LSP with a G100 it tends to take forever to dry.

However, it dries much faster when applied with a Hi-Tech hand applicator.

Go figure.

That's why I still to hand app. as well.

Right.

I found that out the hard way and ruined one of those screw on type of pads Meguiars used to make.

The thing molded up pretty bad and ate up the foam.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

Depending on what I am doing determines what I do by hand or by my PC7424, and when I use the PC7424 there are many areas which must be done by hand. The PC7424 does save a lot of time, and IMHO applies a more consistent layer of protection but I remove product by hand as changing the MF bonnet take far too much time.

With my recent purchase of a G100, I'm lovin applying liquid wax via the finishing pad. It saves so much time on large vehicles and allows for such even coverage. For small vehicles, I'll use paste wax via a MF Even Coat Applicator .

I use my g100 to apply wax/sealent and a mf bonnet on a 7006 pad to remove.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

It all depends on how I am doing time wise. Most of the time I apply using the G 100. But once in a while I will do it by hand.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

I **** using a polisher; for some reason. I'm hoping that I can get some better tips at this weekend's detailing class. So for the past 6 years, with this truck, I have done everything by hand.

Great results, but way too time consuming.

Actually, with any vehicle that I've own it's been by hand.

I tried a polisher once with my current truck and it was more work to remove the wax that it would have taken to apply & remove by hand.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

I love using the DA to apply wax - I'm significantly more consistent.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

I prefer to use a PC I feel I can apply a more even coat nice and thin

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

I always use my PC to apply wax. It gives me a thin, uniform layer every time. I also use it with a bonnet to remove the wax. Awesome results every time.

Re: Preferred Wax Application Method?

Am a traditionalist. Always by hand. Just recently turned to DA on applying waxes/sealants and remove by hand (troublesome to use the MF bonnets). Faster and thinner coats. Saves me time to do other cars.
