Sherif-- In your earlier posts you said "spraying 2-3 times on the applicator for each section." This could be what is causing you to have so much difficulty removing PNS. One spray on the applicator should be enough for each section.

I tried one spray per section but I felt it's not enough, maybe the Lake Country coating applicator I used was soaking a lot of product! Btw it's not a good applicator for coatings, almost the same foam wax applicator but in different shape! IMO Optimum dual pro applicator or CarPro suede are much better options for coatings and sealants like PNS..

I use a MF applicator when applying PNS. I find it works much better than foam (less drag, more even coat).

Same here, I actually found it significantly easier to apply with a microfiber applicator. A lot easier to remove too due to the thinner application.

I may have missed where someone got back to you on this, but I'd hesitate on applying with a DA--from my experience it cures too quick to do so. Nothing stopping you from experimenting though!

Looks like I have to try this method next time. Thanks for the insight

Next time I apply PNS, I'll try using a damp MF applicator. It should make application even easier. Not sure how much it will affect its durability, though.

With experience, applying/removing PNS becomes less of a pita, but it's still not what I'd call a user-friendly product.

What I do is prime a MF towel with Sonax BSD, not soak it, just get it damp, then spray PNS on that then wipe on (sometimes on the panel), I call this my wet towel then almost immediately wipe it off with another MF towel, I call this the semi-wet towel, finally buff the area with a dry towel. Works pretty well.

I applied PNS to my Jeep a couple of days ago. I used a microfiber applicator that had a very low knap. It was kind of like suede. Depending on the location, I either sprayed it on the panel or the applicator. I then wiped it off with another microfiber towel within 1 minute of application. I did not dampen either the applicator or the towel. It went on and off like a quick detailer/wax type product. In the little time that I have been using it, I have discovered that when people say thin coat, they mean it. I have also found the truth of having quality towels. In the last two weeks I have been cycling out my older OTC towels for house cleaning duties and grime wiping.
Now that I've got my technique down, I love this stuff more and more.

No, I hadn't seen a reply to the question. Thanks! I hadn't thought of it curing too quickly.
