    Re: How Much Liquid Wax To Use?

    Basically, wax (any wax/sealant) should be applied real thin, so thin that it's barely visible. There's no real way to measure how much wax to use, it's a moving target. You adjust as you go, sometimes as you go along, you'll notice that even if you apply a certain amount of wax only intended for 1 panel, you'll be surprised that you'll actually still be able to wax another 1-1.5 panels.

    Of course I prefer to use as little as possible but am not sure how to guage that. I can't really tell when wax is being applied at times is probably what my issue is. So I need something like x amount of wax on the pad should cover x amount of square footage of a panel.

    How Much Liquid Wax To Use?

    I have a six inch random orbital buffer and either use too much liquid wax or sometimes too little. I can't seem to guage how much to use per panel or per whatever. Yes I already perused a plethera of waxing videos here and on YouTube.

    I have been using the liquid wax that comes with the Meguiar's Clay Kit. I just don't know how to ascertain when it is time to add more wax to the pad. Or if there is a general rule about how much to use per square foot of panel then that would work also. Thanks!
