Nope, you never want to let OCW haze or dry on the paint. You mist very lightly and then work your paste wax in until the OCW or water disappears and into the paint. There will be a light film of paste wax left on the car which is easy to remove.

I don't see why not ... I can't say what will last the longest but I'm sure they will all look great. Give it a try and report back with results.

Re: Applying "Hard" Waxes
I found apply with bare hands to be fast and easy while using a minimal amount of product. The little bit of heat in my hands melted Collinite 476 easily. It took about 20 minutes to wax my F-150 one panel at a time.

Re: Applying "Hard" Waxes
I just did my 2 cars with collinite 476 over the weekend. I followed others advice in keeping it thin, have the applicator be just slightly damp and not leaving it on too long before wiping off. Worked very easy that way

Re: Applying "Hard" Waxes
I have used collonite 845 and it is hard to remove when it is dry I let it dry on a friends car on the third application(getting ready for winter) and buffed it off the next day and it took me about twice as long to remove. In the video the guy says to buf off in circular motions I would always do straight lines running the length of the car and he said make surre to get all the paint but I tend to stay a 1/4 inch away from rubber, plastic and any where wax will remain. When you buff it off you will hit these spots enough.

Well your not supposed to leave overnight, damn near an y wax will be like a brick trying to remove. 30-60 minutes or so or when it starts hazing is when you can remove.
