how to apply the wax

The wax comes with an applicator pad for buffing . So put the cream on the pad and apply in circular motion..simple but really not that great if you want the truth...

I use a microfiber towel. You can buy microfiber towels at any autoparts store or here on Amazon.com. I usually put a pretty liberal amount on the towel and cover the entire car in the wax (it usually takes two or three towels to cover the whole car), until it has a dull, hazy look. Once the entire car is covered, I take my Craftsman power buffer and buff the wax, which gives it a great shine. I recommend keeping the car either in the shade or in a garage out of the sun.

Sponge applicator comes with it. wipe on with circular motion and let dry to haze and then buff it out. Pretty standard with all waxes

It only has instructions on warming the wax. It doesn't tell you exactly how to wax. I watched tutorials online.

From my understanding you can apply wax but it will not last as long nor is it necessary. The purpose of applying opti-coat is essentially to have a permanent wax that is more durable and protective. I would also suggest you Google your question as well. Hopes this helps.

Hi Gurjeet :) No, you do not need anything else. After rubbing the piece of plastic between your hands for 2-5mins the wax will heat up, take apart the plastic lining and place on your skin. You may need to do this step over and over again because this is a weak wax strip, but it does work after doing this 2 or 3 times.

I use a soft cloth to apply the wax and then a flat artist's paintbrush to remove excess from crevasses. I repeatedly wipe wax from the brush and brush the item until all excess wax is removed.

I have a 6" hand buffer and I use a Terry Cloth Pad to put this on, then wipe off by hand & then apply wax using the same process.

There really isn't a formula for measurement. You want to put a thin a layer of wax in circular motion just enough to cover the surface. Obviously, you can put as much as you want- but be prepared to do some serious buffing. Thin layer will be fine. Less is more here For sure, especially if you (I assume) have a black car. You want to make sure you buff off all the wax.

My instructions said to heat the wax for 15 to 20 minutes but it took a lot longer, more than 30 minutes. Just keep checking back until it's all melted but not too hot.

No, you don't. You do need to apply it thicker than you would with soft wax and muslin strips. What also helps is to apply a thin layer of GiGi Pre-Epilating Oil, azulene oil, or some kind of waxing oil before waxing, to heat the wax to the right temperature (melt wax in the pot warmer on high until the center remains unmelted, then turn it down to low and use the melted wax), and to pull the wax off at the right time (don't let it sit too long and get too hard and brittle).

Wax (not polishes) should be applied by either an ultra fine finishing pad on low setting or in straight lines (in direction of airflow across the surface). To "buff" off the wax, yes you should buff off the wax with a buffing towel after proper application. I'm not aware of a wax that is applied and not buffed off (including spray wax... Perhaps that wax as you dry stuff, if that's the road you seek, I would research that on Autogeek)

You want it cool but not too hard. So, not long. Press down on the wax before you pull to insure hairs are firmly embedded. Do small patches. You don't want to go over the same area repeatedly but you can overlap.

get black liquid turtle wax and make sure you wear rubber gloves while putting it on. rub all over and wipe thoroughly. water beads on it. keeps it really shiny.

I apply it the old fashion way...rags. Because you are cleaning the floor and waxing at the same time, you need to have multiple rags handy. They will get very dirty. I go over some spots several times. You will know where that is needed as you apply One Step. I've been using One Step yearly for a very long time and get compliments on my hardwood floors all the time. Good luck!

I just put the wax directly in the machine. I've read that others use a container, but didn't use/need one.

Most definitely! Apply it with a slightly damp, small, pre-used sponge. Allow product/glass to dry to a haze, then easily buff to a shine with a soft, dry towel. Brand-new sponges tend to have a chemical that might cause the wax to be difficult to "buff off" once it has dried...that's why I specified "pre-used."

You have to buy the wax. I recommend getting a wax kit to start. It will have everything you need. Then watch some videos.

I would say make sure it's the right temp and consistency before applying and to apply a thicker layer. Also, you may be using too much oil. I put too much oil on and the wax stayed pretty stretchy.
