question about procedure

So..now we know why your truck/coach always look great! As a friend though, will be sending a therapist your way. :)

I do not like that dry wax on edges either. Plus, it seems to grow, if left in those creases. What I use in those hard to access little creases is ProtectAll. It will clean up those dry wax lines, and has carnauba wax in it. Use a small fiber rag, with a bit of PA on a corner to clean, and follow with a soft cloth on edges.

I use a used tooth brush that's has gotten soft , to get in the creases , edges etc .

I knew there was good reason I never use paste wax. :)

Yep, too much new technology to relive the “Wax On / Wax Off” effort with modern paint and clear coats, and washing products and “Spray On / Wipe Off” products like Wash Wax All.

To the OP: Nice shine though.

Thanks to all..... I try for a solid coat of paste wax per year and use Wash-Wax All in-between trips..

I switch it up from Q tips to soft bristle tooth brush as well

Maybe I will try to spray wash-wax all on a rag and use that on the seams.???

Not sure if you've ever used ProtectAll wax/polish? I've used it for years on motorcycles and snowmobiles. If you google, read about it, there is lots of good info. I'll add a quote below.
"NO TEDIOUS DETAILING

Protect All's unique formula dries clear in those hard to get to areas like the crevices around trim and molding. There is no white powdery residue that requires tedious detailing with a brush or Q-tip. Those difficult to reach areas have the benefit of Protect All's protection without the extra time and effort of detailing."

It will easily clean off the left over white powder, and will just add more protection. I use it on my tonneau cover too. Dirt/dust is not attracted to it, but has high UV protection. I just used it on my FW skylight, and have since new. It keeps it from getting brittle from sun damage.

The wash/wax all might clean the wax residue?

I used to work in a professional detailing service - never wax all the way up to the edge, never go over a joint, over rubber molding, edges, etc. Wax up to within about an inch or further. You don't have to get every inch for it do look good and do its job. When you remove the wax, it will spread to the other areas and you will never notice fade or lack of water repelling, etc.

Man I wish I would take the time to wash mine!
