Wanted to do a quick wax of my black car as I was pretty sure there was no wax on the car and washing confirmed my suspicions.
Below freezing temperatures outdoors and car was dirt and mild salt covered. Washed the car using a high pressure rinse followed by hand washing with foam gun and SuperSoap. Washed twice with SuperSoap and final high pressure rinse and then drizzle rinse. Dried with Absorber followed with leaf blower.
Grabbed a tube of White Wax. The goal was to utilize the mild abrasive to clean up minor swirls and apply a coat of wax.
Using a black pad running at speed 4, moderate pressure and medium arm speed on a Porter-Cable buffer. Started by squeezing four spots of White Wax on the pad. The White Wax was thicker than toothpaste and a little difficult to squeeze out of the tube. The temperature of the tube was 58 degrees. Was concerned a tube might not do my medium sized crossover car. I was way wrong with that thinking.
The batteries in my weight scale were dead, so unable to accurately describe the amount of White Wax used. The White Wax goes quite a long way. After the pad was "broken in", I could put four small dime sized dots on the pad and do two or more panels. I would put some on the pad and start the buffer on the next panel to work the wax into the pad and deposit some wax on the next panel while returning to the panel I was working on to avoid putting too much wax on any one panel.
White Wax works up just fine, similar to Ultimate Polish. I went over each panel three times. R-L, U-D, R-L and moved to the next panel.
The instructions on the tube said do the whole car and then buff off. I did both sides, hood, tailgate and rear bumper, but did not do the roof or the front bumper. I did not wish to work off a ladder today, so the roof was done with Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere on a long handle microfiber. Also hand worked the front bumper and grill with UWWA.
Took a short break before buffing off the White Wax. It easily passed the swipe test and buffed off easily with couple of microfibers.
As I said, I was unable to weigh the tube to determine how much I had used, but squeezing the White Wax to the top of the sealed tube left about an inch of the bottom empty. Should be able to use this tube two or three more times.
The end result is very nice with minor swirls removed and a very good reflective wax job. I can't wait to give Black Wax a whirl sometime too.
Whole heartedly recommend this product.
