How much Liquid Souveran to cover a car?

[Silverstone]

I have two free ounces to try, how far will it get me? How much to cover a whole car? I never used it before.

Well ive never used Liquid Souveran but speaking in general terms about liquid wax...2 oz should cover a car no problem, as long as you dont go 'product happy' with it lol...When I first started, like many people, I kinda figured 'more is better'...but I tell you what, the first time you put on a thin coat of wax...and let it totally dry and THEN remove it you will wonder 'why did i ever put it on so thick before?'

With the time you save not having to remove a THICK coat of wax, you could actually wax the car a 2nd time :dblthumb2:

You should be able to get 2 cars out of a sample. Now if you are doing a large Excursion or something like that maybe 2 maybe not, it just really depends.

I'm looking at my 2oz sample right now and I've used (approx.) 1/4oz to completely cover my bike with two coats.

So, thin is in.

I got the same sample. I love the stuff. It is so easy to work with. I have covered a Porsche Cayman S and a Minivan and still have some left over. You should be fine.

Oh wow that's great! I was hoping to get just one out of them.
It's going on top of WGDGPS so this should look great.

Thin is in indeed. :xyxthumbs:

i find using a DA buffer with a liquid or even paste wax improves the ratio of applications / tub big time.

I find that the pad soaks up too much product and wastes it.

Maybe depends on the pad? For me with a DA i'm able to just put a small amount on and spread it out before the pad soaks much up...plus its 10x faster than by hand...still gotta go by hand for the little areas thou.

This pretty much covers it if you're applying with a DA polisher......:laughing:

More like 20x faster. I'll never apply a wax/sealant by hand again. :D

I go by hand, i have applied 3 times to a 1991 toyota corolla, and i used a yellow foam app. pad, very very thin, i kept looking at the car at an angle to make sure i was even covering the entire car, i started on the driver fender, went all the way around the car, and then buffed off by hand with 4 microfibers. this stuff is amazing. thank god for sample sizes!

Maybe just depends on the wax. With MaxWax or Souveran, I take the wax out of tub, rub pad and can get a whole vehicle with a nice thin layer :)

Was just giving some input, not trying to leave a snide remark. I was implying that in my experience, I tend to get more out of using a PC to wax then by hand.

Didn't take it like that at all ;) To each his own :xyxthumbs:

I got the 2oz sample too, I coated my TSX 3 times and still got a tiny bit left.
I applied with red pad on my Megs DA.

On a side note, I don't like the stuff. Heaps of shine, but it's got no depth and glow.....
