    Wax Application By Hand

    Thought i'd try it with paste wax and not sure if theres a proper procedure .seems my 3 middle fingers were the application source and not to great to apply with. ...do you remove the paste from the jar and rub on your palms??? ...then apply???????????????

    Why would you want to do this?

    I know some Zymol waxes are done this way, do you have these waxes?

    circle the jar around 3 times and then move to paint. Try to apply without circles in straight lines. Buff off as manufacturer requested. Should easily cover a panel at a time without overusing product.

    OMG, lol.

    Yea, application by hand, unless otherwise advised (Zymol), is a waste and a nussiance. The hand is used to heat the carnuaba and make it more manageable. You are dealing with a 1.5 minute application and removal window before you need a cleaner to get the hardened wax off.

    To me, its a pain. The polishin' pal worked great this morning.
