Re: Applying Wax
Applying wax in any type of motion (circular, up & down, left & right) should NEVER leave any swirl marks.
In contrast, using poor technique when applying wax may leave swirl marks no matter what type of motion you use.
As long as both the surface and the pad are perfectly clean, you'll be fine...Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

Are those foam applicator or even coat applicator reusable?
After I wash them in washing machine, I hang them to dry. Then I just lock them in my cabinet. From time to time, I do see dust and particles stuck in the applicator.Dennis

Generally speaking for those with out a sealed tin. I keep everything in a clean detailing cabinet and sitting up and out of the way. Once the pad hits the ground. It's gone.

Other than that, waxing is pretty fool-proof...Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me.

Re: Applying Wax
I agree with keeping the pad clean AND not pressing the pad into the surface helps. I find that a light touch with the thought that the wax just needs to get on the surface and not pressed into the surface helps me do a swirl free job
