So let me get this straight before I try it out!
I get my choosen carnubua P21s in my case. Get my applicator, spray some QD/Water on to the part im thinking about doing. Then apply wax. Wait to haze then wipe off? Is that correct?

JJ- Yep, that`s the idea. The water is supposed to keep the "new" wax from disturbing the wax that`s already on there.
I do this all the time. DavidB recommended a while back.
It also helps to get thin coats on the car.
I love using Pinnacle Crystal Mist and Souveran for this technique.
Please note that you will get much better results using cold water - as suggested by Brian-4DSC!
I keep a quart sized mister bottle filled with distilled water in the refrigerator in my garage.

Nick! Good to see you here again!
How about cold Crystal Mist? I`ve been doing that.
Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.
Hi, Nick :wavey Great to see you around here!
Note to self: *cold* water/CM, *cold*....
4DSC is another guy I miss around here.
Hello Nick T :wavey I haven`t `seen` you around on any of the forums of late have you been in hibernation?
What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.
I have been reading of the spit shine method for months now and never took the time to figure out what it is. I`ll have to try it with PG when we finally have clear weather.
It is great to see some of the valuable old threads reappearing like this one :xyxthumbs
Slightly off topic but what is the real difference between normal Kiwi polish and Parade Gloss
I tested this method out last night on my Silverstone paint. It has about six coats of Zaino and a p21s topcoat (attempting to add depth, sort of muted the silver sparkle). I threw about 4 coats on using this method, as best I could figure it out... Today, in the overcast light, parked at the coffee shop, I swear I could SEE a difference between the door and rear quarter (did the door, not the rear quarter) - the reflection of the yellow lines and the pavement certainly SEEMED darker and deeper in the door... I`ll have to do some other comparisons when I`ve got full sun and maybe a few more coats on other areas.
If nothing else, the p21s seems to live up to its reputation of "self-cleaning"... There was drizzle and the roads were wet, yet after about an hour of drying in the garage, there was no indication on the front fender or door that it`d even been on the road. A finger-wipe revealed no significant dirt or dust. Good stuff.
To Lowe -
Parade Gloss has silicones in it, regular Kiwi doesn`t. A friend of mine whose in the CAP (Civil Air Patrol) claims that Parade Gloss wrecks your boots, but I havent found anything to support that. Usually on mine (Danner Ft. Lewis, great boots BTW), I`ll put 3 coats of regular Kiwi on (set the first coat on fire in the tin, so it goes on as a liquid, follow with two normal coats), then 2 coats of Parade Gloss, top it with the Kiwi Instant shine. Its not quite as good as a really well done hand spitshine, but hey, it only takes 20 minutes or so.
