tips for applying dodo juice diamond white wax

Hey Martiiiin!
New foam applicator.
Little spritz with a QD or distilled water jump to soften/dampen the pad ever so slightly then apply the wax to the car as thin as possible, it's a lot harder on white to see what you're doing. Give it 2 coats for even coverage.
I usually do a panel at a time.
By the time i've finished waxing the panel, leave it a minute then buff off.
All waxes differ curing time wise but DD you can take right off no hassle. Do not put it on thick or it'll probably be a mare to take off!
Is there going to be any prep work before the wax goes on? As it's the prep not the wax that gives 99% of the finish.

Nein. You need a surface for the wax to bond to.
If it's a new car, a wash, dry, paint cleanser then wax will work nicely. I would advise an IPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol) wipe down then apply the wax.

Yea fair enough, I have tried it myself and really enjoy the process of massaging the wax into each panel by hand. Problem is my hands stink for hours after

Every wax I've been near (Bannana Armour etc) have smelt fit as! So I love it
I'd have Meg's tire gel as an air freshener in my room if I could.

Your right they do smell the sex. It was't a complaint by any means
