| | | I have a few carnauba wax questions..
1. how long does it take to haze? I waited 20-25 mins before wiping off my nattys blue.. is this enough time? this was in the garage and it wasnt cold, it was a tiny bit warm.
2. how long will the wax last on the car before I should re apply it? |

some people use the finger swipe method to determine if the wax has fully cured and ready to be buffed off.
swipe our finger over the haze and if it leaves behind a clear trail, then it is time to buff. if not just leave it longer then do the swipe test again.
15-20 mins sounds about right unless you applied it too thick.
i'm guilty of making that mistake most of the time as well, so the range of Pinnacle and Wolfgang paste wax is more for my style (or lack of skill) . wipe on and wipe off no need to wait for it to cure , no worries
hope that helps |

IMO, haze over or dry time is not the same as cure time. Even the WOWO carnaubas require a cure time to fully harden.
Cure time is 12-24 hrs. typically, then you can add another coat. I would reapply every 4-6 weeks depending on conditions. |

You do not wait that long to remove nattys, it is almost like a wax on wax off wax. Nuba only last about a month so waxing once a month is a good plan. |

You know I thought the same about blue nattys (WoWo) but it left some streaking on my hood...I now let it haze a little bit longer and no problems except that it's a little harder to remove...I have now moved to Pinnacle Signature II (BOGO) and I couldn't be any happier; I love the fact that you can wipe it off right away (no waiting for hazing) without fearing any streaking whatsoever...Awesome product, I can only imagine what a higher end nuba could do... |

To answer your question about higher end waxes, yes there is a difference, I have several and to me they are worth it. |

I have the itch for Fuzion and with 20% off, it seems quite attractive...I was also thinking about trying a sample of Dodo Juice Supernatural |

I have Souveran which I do like, can not tell you about Fuzion, not planning on buying it. Supernatural is very nice, looks better than Souveran and last longer. You will be very happy with your sample. |
