Is there any threads showing pics of the proper thickness of wax?
I always wondered how thin is thin.

No pic, but IMO most people can't imagine how thin an application will still provide complete coverage. Somebody once explained it to me as "bonding at the molecular level".
FWIW, while I'm a bit of a fanatic about thin applications, I also seem to get pretty incredible durability out of my LSPs. I didn't get *better* durability when I applied them thicker and IMO I was just buffing off the extra LSP anyhow.
Note that to get complete coverage with thin applications, it pays to "work" the LSP a little so it gets into the microscopic (hope they're that small!) fissures/pits/etc. in the top layer of paint.Practical Perfectionist -
If you can't determine how 'thin' is thin, then just use a DA with W-9006 to apply the LSP. It's always thin enough to make buffing easy and avoiding patchy problem.Comment

I like to apply my waxes just thick enough so that you can see what to wipe off after it dries.
This is easier done with a PC than by hand.r. b.Comment
