Spray & Wipe with a Spray Wax?

[CharlesW]

A search didn't turn up anything on this so.....
Tonight I tried using DG Aqua Wax with my S&W when I washed the Grand Prix.
My S&W washes consist of two passes with a MF towel after spraying the S&W on a panel. I use one MF for the first pass that picks up most of the dirt, then I follow with a clean MF to finish drying the section.
Tonight, I tried spraying some AW after the first pass and then wiping off the AW and the remaining S&W with the second MF.
It seemed to work OK after I got somewhat of a handle on how to do it. I'll know better in the daylight if it was a good idea or not.
Do any of you think of any reasons not to do this? Seems like an easy way to combine a wash job and a wax job.
I'm sure Poorboy will think QW+ would be a better product for this use and he might be right, but the AW was what I had on hand.

I'm still rolling that rock, Page.

Unless you have a problem with incompatibility of chemicals in the two products I see no reason it would not work just fine.

I posted here a couple years ago about adding AW to FC&S and it works really well.

Next time try that add the AW to S&W shake well and apply then tell us how it works.

I do remember your AW/FC&S mix post.
Some of the problems I have with mixing products in the bottle;
How much?
Will they actually mix and stay mixed?
Do I really want to be a chemist?

While my method may be out of the ordinary, the products are still basically being used for their intended purpose. It actually was pretty easy to do once I figured out a system.
One question still remains, how does it look in the sunlight. I won't be finding that out for a while since it is cloudy and raining here.

I'd be worried I didn't get all the dirt on the first pass, so then I'd be sealing in dirt.

Good point!
And one I hadn't considered. :wall
Probably won't do it again.
Oh well, another great idea that wasn't so great.

Back to rolling that rock.

Well it sure won't take long to apply AW after you have it clean but if it looks good the way you did it then you have a winner.

I think FCS has some AW in it or some sort of residual sealant so mixing the two I think makes a slightly stronger FCS or weaker AW depedning on how you look at it. I'm not PB so I can't say for sure but I don't see an issue. S&W is formulated (so I understand) to encapsulate the surface grime so it can be removed and not scratch the surface (using a MF). After the first pass with a MF if you are laying down a spraying of AW and then wiping again - I would not think it would cause any harm.
