applying wax

[Dave_IOW]

Just after personal opinions really but going to be applying collinite 845 and dodo PH at the weekend if sunny.

Would you use foam applicators for both?

Just seen dubplatedans scratch removal DIY and he has a sponge next to his dodo juice implying he uses that?

He has done a bloody lurvelly job and just wondered if i was better off applying the dodo with a sponge

The Meguiar's Foam Applicators are perfect for applying wax. If you use a sponge or Microfibre applicator they build up with wax quite a lot and it just wastes product.

i use dampened celulose pads to apply my 845, apply it very thinly as a little of this stuff goes a long way, and layer it up for even coverage 2/3 layers will be fine, obviously buff between applications.

cheers mate, just saw a picture of your wax with a sponge next to it, and thought that might have been best way to do it!

When you say cellulose pads do you mean like the red foam things that you get included with AG HD wax?

I use these to apply wax (although not using the AG HD anymore) and I run them under the tap first and then squeeze the excess water out of them.

They work brilliantly as an applicator.

was that my scratch repair thread you were looking at?

what ever applicator you use just make sure its damp not wet, apply wax in a straight line motion making sure you overlap to ensure even coverage of each panel, if you drop your applicator DONT use it again till you've washed it thoroughly and got all the grit/dirt out(very important).

That is sponge? 

I cant apply wax in circular motion? What happens?
