Applying Wax with DA.

[Benny06]

Planning on using my DA to apply HD Wax after a machine polish etc as I may be short of time.

Can I just cover a finishing pad in it and go over the car at a slow speed and then buff it off? Or should I fashion some method of attaching the foam applicator pads that came with it to the backing plate?

I think you can only use liquid wax with the machine ?

 

[Benny06]

I was under the impression most could be used as it's a quicker way of applying and providing it's done properly a more even application?

Obviously a quick skim and leave it to haze before buffing off is all that's needed. Or am I misinformed?

You can apply any wax with DA. If it was me I'd apply it by DA I would buff it off straight after.

On a clean finishing pad?

 

[harry602]

That's right

It will be quicker to do it by foam pad. The idea of putting wax on is as straight lines as possible to minimise the risks of adding swirls in. You use a DA that rotates..and well il let you figure that out.

Edit plus you will waste product loading the pad up and won't get as even coverage then by hand.

Dont do it. Just use a foam pad. Pannel at a time.
