Found This On Yahoo

Hmmm, not too bad. I don't think there was really anything horribly wrong in it. I'm not sure what the heck that thing was that was pictured on the polishing page though. Looked like an orbital palm sander to me, but I do seem to remember Mike doing an article where he used a pneumatic powered polisher that looked a lot like a palm sander and it worked fine. On the paste vs. liquid wax page they actually have a picture of the Pinnacle SS II wax that AG sells :props:

The hands using the NXT Spray Wax are my daughter Heather's hands when I wrote an article on how to properly use a spray-on wax.

In my article I shared the tip on how to get good results using a spray on wax and that is to dampen the application side of the towel you're using with a little product first.

Most people using a spray wax get frustrated because when they first start out if their towel is DRY then at the same time they're trying to spread the spray wax out the DRY microfiber towel will be trying to wipe or remove it. By misting a little of the product onto the "application" side of the towel you'll find it a lot easier to apply a spray wax to the paint.



The hood she's working on was our black Honda Pilot. Just to note, my article was written and posted to MOL on October 19th, 2004, here it is...

How To Get Great Results With Meguiar's Spray Wax!

2) - Applying with a microfiber polishing cloth


Another method of applying a Meguiar's Spray wax is to apply it using a microfiber polishing cloth. Here's my daughter misting some NXT Tech Wax onto a clean, folded Ultimate Wipe. The trick to making this technique work is only using one side of your folded microfiber polishing cloth to apply the NXT Spray Wax over the entire car.

First she moistens one side of an Ultimate Wipe and then she can either spray some NXT Spray Wax onto the finish, or continue to spray some onto this same side of the Ultimate Wipe as she works her way around the Pilot.

The reason this method works is because once you have dampened one side with wax, you now have a wax-moistened surface that spreads and applies wax like the foam applicator pad. If you try to continually switch to a new, dry side, the cloth will tend to adsorb your product while your trying to spread it out and thus you will feel like you're fighting yourself while trying to spread the product out.



I also included that tip/secret in this article dated November 14th, 2008

The secret to applying Ultimate Quik Wax

Use a dampened microfiber polishing cloth or wax applicator pad
Next you mist Ultimate Quik Wax onto the surface and spread the product around using a clean, plush microfiber polishing cloth folded 4-ways, or a clean wax applicator pad and here's the secret, before starting first dampen your microfiber polishing cloth or wax applicator pad with Ultimate Quik Wax.


Just a little trivia I guess...

That's our Wax Attack Palm Polisher
 
We do - we sell them off the big rig at shows and in our e-store. It's not a big seller, but it is a handy tool for quickly and evenly applying glazes and waxes.

Cool and I agree. The machine can always outperform the human hand.

Will Mother's have a booth at the upcoming car show in Knoxville? This one?
