Just received my bottle of DWG, but...

...I've having a tough time applying the DWG on my car.

I just washed (ONR) and dried my car. Already had 2 layers of UPGP from a few days ago, now I wanna apply a layer or two of DWG. I'm doing this by hand, since I don't have a PC. I'm applying using a microfiber applicator. I put some DWG on the pad, and soon after I start applying it to my car, the DWG already begins to dry to a haze where it became difficult to buff off using a MF. I almost have to scrub the DWG off my car.

Am I missing something? Is DWG not meant to be applied by hand?

Would it help if I moisten the mf applicator first? Would that 'damage' the DWG being applied?

how much DWG did you put on the applicator??

You're using too much. I've used it numerous times by hand, and it works great.

Or maybe the car surface is too hot....When i applied a new layer on my car 2 days ago,the car was under my garage but the air temperature was about 40 Celsius,and it was drying almost immediately no mater how much i put on the applicator..

40 Celsius? Ouch!

The temperature was about 80-85F, and the surface was cool to the touch when I applied it.

I always use a foam applicator when applying DWG. I tried a mf app, but it just grabs too much.

Maybe I'll try it again with a foam applicator.

Did the shaking. Have a feeling I'm using too much. Gonna try again this weekend.
