...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? :think:
Would it help if I moisten the mf applicator first? Would that `damage` the DWG being applied?

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! :grinno:
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.

I put on a layer by hand with no issues on a cool car in the cool garage. Probably used a MF applicator IIRC?
I do however love using this stuff by machine - softest red finishing pad on the UDM at about speed 3-4 is superb and speedy :D

Maybe 4-5 drops on the pad, but nowhere near dime size.
