View Full Version : FMJ application
I searched but could not find much info.
I have some FMJ coming tmrw and I am packing up for the weekend.
What is the correct application and removal method for FMJ.
Can`t wait to try it.
It comes with a MF applicator but I prefer to use a yellow foam app. I usually take a pinacle foam applicator, wet and then ring it out really good so it os only the slightest bit damp, and apply the FMJ. This method allows me to get an extremely thin coat on the paint very evenly. You`ll love the FMJ.
Tks. Apply to one section then remove?

I like to apply it over large sections out of the sun. I use the supplied applicator but a small foam one will suffice. I keep the applicator dry. This stuff is GOOD. I cover it with TS afterwards. :badabum

The distributor of the FMJ packs up a kit, so no matter where you bought it, you should get the applicator pad, buffing towel, and instruction booklet in the kit.
Report back and let us know what you thought! I think this stuff will finally convince the Zaino cultists that there are other, easier, options!

I use the Poorboys PVA sponge applicator (damp) to apply FMJ. I usually apply to 1/2 of the car and then wipe down. A few oz will cover most cars. I would recommend 2 coats. Keep water/moisture off the car for 2-3 days to allow the sealer to cure.
You`ll notice after the first wash, that a lot of the slickness goes away. I would also recommend using spray and gloss to keep the slickness and high gloss going.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is FMJ? I need to get up to speed on my acronyms I guess. Late nights and early mornings are messing with my code breaking skills.

I spent a bit more and ordered the Biggie size!
I don`t think I get any instructions or applicators with the larger size.
It made more sense and I MAY be up for some trades for a few, specific products that I would like to try. It seems that a lot of people want to try it and the expense may keep a lot of people from trying it out. I will let everyone know once how it works and if I am going to offer samples for trade. Tks for the help! I also ordered the new Menzerna Ceramiclear Light Cut polish. Now I am poor but excited!

Those that have been brave enough to shell out the $40 say it has fantastic gloss and durability. But it`s hard to find for much less than $40.
