Finally figured out Natty's application

[wifehatescar]

Well, finally learned how to apply Natty's so that removal is easy (yay me :dancin )

What was happening was I was putting too much on the foam applicator to start with, I though I was applying it thin but it was actually still too thick. Then all the wax on the applicator would dry and I would go back for more. This was leading to a cycle of using way too much wax (I have used a half a jar in only 5 cars worth of applications). I was also using a dry applicator.

Last night I did the following...dampened the applicator then squeezed out any excess water, put a 1/4 of the pad in the jar and make one (1) light swipe. Then did that 3 more times for the other 3/4's of the applicator, 4 mini swipes total. I was able to do 1/2 my hood easily with that amount and it was super thin, could hardly see it. I let it dry 10 minutes and it came off with little to no drag on the MF.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who had the same troubles I was having.

Yeah, I figured you were using too much and now I know. 5 cars and your went through half of it, that is a lot. I have used Natty's on (thinking) close to ten cars now and I am not even close to half way through it yet. You will really like the wax now that you found what was wrong. :jump

:bigups Doesn't it feel great when you get a product to work correctly?

Yeah, all I had to do was read the directions Honestly, I never realized a paste needed to go on thinner than even a sealant.

I had to play to get the hang of it myself. On my last job I just got the hang of the PVA sponges.....hated them before & now they are my favorite way to apply the Natty's.
