So I was detailing my car on Sunday and doing the last step, waxing, with a black CG Hex pad & CG Extreme Depth liquid wax.
Started spreading it with the Porter Cable and it wasn't distributing it evenly or at all.
So more wax on the pad, spread it around and then try to work it on.
Next thing you know....I'm going thru A LOT very quickly and the pad isn't spreading it right/at all. Make a pass and it would go dry by the end.
So eventually I've had enough and just finish it by hand instead.
When I'm done, I go to clean the pads and there was all the wax just soaked into the pad. What the hell?
Globs & globs of it just coming out
I called CG and the guy told me I should've used an orange pad to apply wax instead?
HUH? :iono:
So was it the CG pad, the CG wax, or what?
I don't get why the pad was just soaking it up instead of spreading it onto the paint.
Other work done before....
The car was washed with CG Citrus Wash
Clay bar'd
Polished with Sonax Perfect Finish & an orange pad
CG JetSeal applied by machine with a red pad
Then applied the wax about an hour after the JetSeal was put on
