Ugh! Yep, I've done that as well. And you're right - it's a mistake you're unlikely to repeat.

When I use Carbon, I put it on in probably a 2x2' square if I'm working on something large, like a hood or a roof. For smaller panels (front fenders of an S2000, for instance), I'll do the entire panel. Applicator in one hand, and clean MF in the other. Once I'm done applying to the section I'm working, I count to ten, and then buff it off.

It's a nice wax, nice depth, and I used it for years. I've switched to RBOE, but still have a pot of Carbon in the fridge. A pot of that stuff lasts forever!

it has a nice smell and is blue in color. its hard to explain, but when i dig my finger into it i don't get larger chucks of wax but instead smaller pieces like soap shavings. it breaks down quickly in my hands and is easy to apply. removal isn't as easy, if you let it dry you really need to scrub it get it off. if you don't let it dry it smears like crazy and you end up using a ton of MF towels.

i'm a DIY, and a few years back i almost finished my tub of carbon and when my wife 'surprised' me w/ a new tub of carbon (she wasn't aware of my eagerness to try something else), so i'm trying to finish that tub second tub off. so i don't have anything to really compare it to, but from what i've read, the zymol line below glasur (sp?) is not very good.

here's a excerpt from FMINUS on waxes:

Zymol line, start with Glasur and move up, all the rest below are junk.
swissVax line, start with Saphir and move up.
p21s 100% carnuba – too expensive for what it gives
p21s – not good

name the list I really like:
#1 Vintage
#2 Concourse

Other waxes I love:
VW Red
SV Mystery
SV Concorso
SV Smaraged
Z Glasur
Z Atlantique
Supernatual
RB OE
TOL Trade Secret
CG 5050
CG 53
FK Pink Wax
Souveran
Lusso Oro
Collinite Insulator
Collinite Marquise

I understand, but to be honest those that use the high end waxes like Vintage, Crystal Rock, etc. would almost all think carbon is junk. Its not really a fair comparison in my opinion....I have never used those really high end waxes but since i use Clearkote, CG 5050, 1Z Hart Glanz, Natty's Blue....it is a tad bit on the higher end for me that is the only reason i am trying it, we will know after this weekend! Thanks to all that have replied
