Applying Fuzion With A DA

[tommythecat]

I tried a quick search but didn't find what I was looking for...

I am thinking about picking up the 3 oz. container of Fuzion while it is on sale.

How do you apply it with a DA? Will I just scoop out the whole "disc" and rub it on the face of the pad? (with gloves on of course)

That's what I do

Cool, that's what I was thinking...just wanted to be sure. :xyxthumbs:

I thought I remembered reading something about it here, but that was a while back and I couldn't remember exactly what it was.

Thanks!

I know I have read a few guys talking about NOT applying with a DA only because of personal choice.
I remember a few: waste less lost in the pad, and another is the enjoyment of applying the wax.

When using it on my own car I will probably do it by hand. With a DA I can do it faster when I don't have the luxury of spreading a full detail over a couple of days. :xyxthumbs:

Those are the threads I was thinking of. My search was probably too specific to pick up those threads.

Thanks!!

You can apply just about any wax with a dual action polisher. With Fuzion, I prefer to apply it by hand when the panel is warm but not hot. I personally like way it glides on so I just take my time spreading it thin then buffing it to a brilliant shine...rops:

In my how-to book I think I show 3, 4 maybe 5 ways to machine apply wax...


Here's picture of a page out of the book, the point being is if you won a DA Polisher it should have come with the wrench for use removing and installing backing plates.

If you look at the handle, it's kind of like a butter knife, just wipe it clean and use it to apply wax to the face of the pad, like this...

LOTS more tips and techniques in the book...

Thanks again everyone! :dblthumb2:

I always feel like I get better coverage, thinner application when applied by DA.
