Good Wax Applying Technique, for those with Heavy Hands
I do not know if many of you have this issue, but for those who do I am going to throw this out there as a thought piece. Now I know the general answer would be not to be as heavy handed when applying wax to a car. I would agree that would be what everyone should aim for but in the end this way works really good as well.
Most of you may have aquired one of these 30$ cheapo buffers from Autozone or where ever. The ones that use the bonnet and have no variable speed and not enough.
Well I got one of those last year and really the only purpous was to spread wax product. I use it even for Show Car Glaze.
Recently I washed 2 cars, both clayed, and prepped for wax. I took some NXT 2.0 (Liquid). primed the bonnet and then put a nickle to quarter sized amount of wax in a cirvular motion and got to work.
With in 3-4 Minutes the vehicle was covered, uniformly, and evenly. The best part was it was THIN and after waiting 10-15 minutes (colder temps). I wiped off with ease (5 mins)and both cars allowed time to have the NXT cure!
Like said, if you have a DA or Rotary, you can do this as well. I like that I can just plug in another tool set up just to spread NXT 2.0 on as it is a staple in my products. FYI I have a rotary with a 7" backing plate which covers tons of surface area but I like not having to swap pads out and I do not have to worry about being careless. Also the thing weighs a ton compared to the cheap spreader.
For me it saved time, my arm, and helped not put swirls in trying to removed the stuff.
