Anyone use CMW exclusively as their LSP?

tried with the Clearkote, PB, foam applicators, but get

smilar results. Sometimes the results are better with mf

pads, but then it sucks up more product. I also find that

it leaves behind a haze sometimes even after what I feel

is a thorough wipedown. I also have this problem with EX-P

a lot as well, so I assume it`s me, and not the product that

is the problem.



Next time I get a chance, I will try it out with the PC and see

if I get any better results.

It sounds like you might be putting it on too thick. I usually mist the pad until it gets primed and that seams to help. The PC also works good and you can put it on pretty thin with it.



For hand I use the Handi-Grip Foam Applicators and it works great for all my wax/sealants it gives nice even pressure so I`m able to apply thin coats:xyxthumbs

Yeah, I do find myself applying it thick, but that`s only because I

can`t seem to apply it thinly with any real consistency. I`ve

also used the Handi-grips, but all that happens is that the

Handi-grip gets scrunged up. I really hate having to press down

to apply product at the final stages as I always end up marring

the paint. So I usually stick with products that do not give

me those types of problems.



I haven`t really used the PC for application but a few times,

and most if not all of those times were done with Surbuf or

Edge finish pads. It just seems so much slower doing it this

way, so I stopped, and went back to applying product by hand.

Since i had a talk with the Surbuf guys, I`m going to take another

plunge and try them again for application with the PC.

I just use the Meguiars 4" foam hand pads. Really easy to lay down a thin layer.

I find the same happens when I apply it. I think it has to do with it coming out of a bottle, just leaving a dab on the applicator as opposed to the large area with wax applied when one swipes the pad in a tin of paste wax. So I end up either applying it too thick or too thin so that I wonder if there`s any left at all on the pad. Spritzing the pad does help a little and it does get better as the pad gets more of a buildup on it. I`ll have to try the handigrip apps, forgot I had them! It`s really not that much of a problem, just spoiled by S100 and Natty`s. Buffs off real easy though.

Scottwax, how does the look of CMW compare to Souveran on black?



My Z is non-metallic black and I`m looking for the ultimate look. So far I really like NXT on the Z. But the quest is never ending of course.

[Scottwax]

Jason-pretty close, actually. Souveran looks a tough richer but CMW is 1/3rd the price. Most people probably can`t tell the difference.

I wasn`t sure I was ready to make the $$ pludge for souveran yet so I might just have to make CMW part of my next product order now. Thanks Scott. :xyxthumbs

Nevermind. I DID just make the plunge to get Souveran. A Canadian online store had a boxing-day only sale. The 8oz jar of Souveran Paste wax was on for $46 CDN!! (that`s about $38 USD at today`s exchange). At that price I couldn`t resist. Even though the last thing I needed right now was another LSP, Souveran is on the way.
