Blitz Tips and Tricks?

[compulady]

I just received my can of Blitz and am going to apply it over my 3X KSG. I'm looking for some guidance on application of Blitz and any tips or tricks you can offer to me.

Thanks again autopians!

Congrats on the new purchase compulady!! I've been a Blitz user for a few years now. My first tip would be to not get any on the trim as it does stain it white. Let the Blitz haze for as long as you can, I find that this aids in its removal (I usually let it haze for a couple hours). Use a little more than you would SG, the haze should be very visible and white, not like Klasse. Have fun!!

When you say "trim" do you mean the black plastic and rubber trim? Should I wax the metal trim or will it stain as well? If I get some on by accident, will it wipe right off?

Just wipe it off the black trim before it dries and you should be okay. If you get some on there and do not remove it before it dries, peanut butter or peanut oil will soften the wax and let you remove it. Just let the peanut butter or oil sit on there a few minutes before removing it.

Sorry about the confusion, I was speaking of the plastic and rubber trim not the metal. Waxman's tip is a good one, you can also wash it off with a vinyl cleaner mixed with water when you wash your car. It's not a big deal, but it's nice to avoid it!!

Listen to good old Detective Dave C. He's one of the very first individuals to try Blitz here on this site. He even helped Beau and myself find this great wax. I, in turn, sent a tin can of Blitz to Brad B for some Meguiar's #20. It's a great wax and the more people that learn of it the better.

Make sure to apply thin coats of Blitz. Let it sit for an hour at least. I've even allowed it to sit for 4-5 hours. It will still be easy to buff out. There's also the Concour's method for applying Blitz. You simply apply Blitz to an entire panel say the hood. Let it sit for an hour, then buff out. You then apply it to say a 1/3 of the hood and immediately buff out. You then apply it to half of that 1/3 area and immediately buff it out. And though it won't give you added protection. It WILL improve the appearance of your wax job. It will make it look glossier and even deeper. Trust me it works. I've been doing this for almost 2 years now. Laters
