Applying a paste wax

[descout]

I was curious if applying a paste wax with a foam pad and PC 7424, blue or red, is a good way to go? Or if i should shoiuld just do it by hand. Also how about removing it? By hand or by the PC?

By hand is gonna be faster and save product.

Apply very thin with a small pad by hand.
When dry, lightly buff off with a good MF or 100% cotton towel by hand.
Wait...
Repeat.

If you put it on too thick you will waste product and in a lot of cases it could be like chiseling concrete to get it off.
In that case, you may need a PC, wool pad covered with a MF bonnet and a little pressure to get it off.
That's just ugly and no fun.

Apply thin and very lightly (by hand) with a quality pad.
Rub/buff lightly (by hand) with a quality towel to remove.
That's real pretty and lots of fun.

Yes, Lake Country makes a gold jeweling pad but that's another thread.

You can apply it by machine but most people do it by hand. If you are going to apply it by hand, watch this video by Mike Phillips.

ever since getting my PC, I have found that I like to do both applications. I do one panel at a time, 1st going around all the trim by hand, then quickly filling in the rest with the PC. I always remove by hand
