That said, it does feel better to put a load of wax on by hand... there is something therapeutic about it and it certainly looks better as it outgasses 
Mind you, durability tends to be the only factor lpotentially compromised by 'over-application' of wax. Gloss is much the same. But less is more, even if the refills are free. |
Yea, I've been experimenting with the thin idea and yes you save product becuase lets face it applying by hand is loads of fun but it wastes product. But to be honest Swissvax Divine is killing me applying it via German Applicator. Yes I get it nice and thin but perhaps to thin, to the point were I'm not even applying any and perhaps that's exactly what I did on my Volvo when I first applied Divine becuase it didn't even last a week..boy I must sound like a broken record about that first experiance
oh well
...but the second application of Divine with the German Applicator went much better and the vehicle is still beading, so yes I agree with you applying by applicator is probably the best and I'll continue to do that for Divine seeing as it dosent come with a life time refills...but Vintage on the other hand...mmm...the thicker the better....lol..poor Mike is the one that gets to remove so it's all good
go Mike
go Mike
hahaha teasing, I sometimes have to remove my self, some times...and I usually have to use several Cookie Monsters to remove lol..but I still love applying it thick
