Waxing By Rotary...

I've done it without any holograms. Use a non abrasive pad, low speed and keep the rotary moving and you should be fine.

I worked with a kid years ago that used to say "I think I get more dirt off when I wax than when I wash my car." Imagine if he used a rotary!

Nobody knew about detail clay in those days - perhaps it wasn't even used back then and lets face it, there can be contaminants that don't wash off. I was surprized recently when I did a pay 'n spray, then ONR and still removed grime with clay.

Anyway, if you don't have a really clean suface when you haul out that rotary, it's gonna be a crap shoot as to how well the surface comes out. I use my PC for LSP application, but I don't think I'd use a rotary for that.

i just did a honda accord today and used my rotary to remove wax. never applied with it, but damn if it didnt work great to remove and polish. car was that ugly purple and left no holograms or marring. just wish i could figure out how to get all the little spider webs out better on older cars.

Rule 1- wax by hand

if you do use a rotary to apply wax either use a solid bar of wax that you can rub on the pad or a really runny wax. dont use those tooth paste consistency waxes they dont spread well with machine.

I did that last week with a Megs finishing pad. Not hard to do at all!
