Default waxing by hand

Sorry for the poor shots, i dont have a tri-pod and I did this bymyself so it was hard to get it right.
Also i applogize for my voice. i was sick and i was loosing my voice.. well anyway here we go

Nice video there buddy, I didn't have the volume up so I could hardly hear you but when I saw it again I had the volume up and sounded good.

The only thing that I try not to do my self (this is just me though) is that I don't go in a circular motion, I try to go at the same direction...but don't know that's just me lol.

each to there own right...
I go in a circular motion becasue i find it easier to get the wax off. i am not worried about swirls becasuse i make sure hte paint is clayed and cleansed. i tryto celanse the pannel then go straight to wax before moving on. Its just a way of keeping the dust off

I'm going to have to give the circular motion a try though, there was another person who removed wax in a circular motion as well and he said that it removed the wax a little better too.

David is way cool he had me on the phone for over an hour and what I liked best about him was he was very honest even when it came to his own product and that a quality thats hard to find.

david is a very upstanding guy, even though I am getting vintage I am still finding ways to use his products. they are all top notch and david is a great guy. I like how he conducts business and will support him as long as I can... on that note i ordered
32oz of hd-cleasne
16 oz detail spray- i have never used a nice sprayer and bottle, the spray is great too
and a mf cloth to try. I want to see how it is

but yeah great products and a great guy
