How To Apply Mothers California Gold Carnauba Paste Wax by Machine

After applying Mother's Synwax by machine to the Magnum Project I topped it with Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax and because I like to put the frosting on the cake by machine I used a Lake Country 5.5" Blue Finishing Pad on a Porter Cable 7424XP and simply placed the face of the foam pad into the tin of wax, blipped the on/off button a time or two and wala... ready to go to town...

Wow, that pad was ment for it. Perfect fit.
Not to bash on the product, but my experience from using the wax 15 years ago was it tends to powder ALOT. Do you find this the same upon removal or it from excessive wax applied?

I've tried this 3rd product on their Wax System, which is the Pure Carnauba because it's an OTC product here. It is not at all hard to apply and remove, but haven't tried it by machine yet, not to mention sticking the pad inside the can. It is in a pretty huge packaging compared to other brands. As other carnauba waxes, this has a beautiful shine to it as well.

Thanks for sharing, Mike.

I would say excessive application. When you say powder, i would assume you mean the residue it leaves after hazing and during removal.

I had zero powder issues and because I applied by machine I was able to lay down a thin uniform coating which after it dried wiped-off effortlessly.

I did my best to take a picture that showed just how glossy the paint was after removing the California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax.... is it working?






Of course claying the paint first and then machine polishing the paint with the Mothers Foam Pad Polish using the Flex 3401 and a PC 7424XP are the first steps to creating high gloss, the wax is just the frosting on the cake.
