We're looking at a two part battle here:

1. Body heat as a catalyst to make the wax workable
2. Absorption of high evaporative rate solvents through the pours of a pad

Well problem #1 is solved by heating the pad, you may need to do it a few times in a detail, but that is a good work around.

Problem #2, well a thin pad may do it, but it would have to be tested many times over with similar results.

If any of you have ever played around with making your own waxes, getting a wax to stay wet enough and be pad friendly like Souveran requires an awfully low overall carnauba content %... like in the 10-15% marker (note I said overall, not carnauba vs other wax content, like how zymol and swissvax advertise, their numbers are more in the 30-40% marker). In my personal and humble opinion from experience, I just do not feel its possible to get the best results using any other method with these big content waxes.
