I am going to note that brand of wax. We use old cloth diapers to buff with....they work well.

4 hours to wax.... complete ? . . I am impressed ! !

X2 It takes me three days to complete the waxing. Not full days, maybe 4-5 hours a day. I just can't do those long days anymore.

Yep, and that includes applying 303 UV protectant to all the decals.

Nice job!

Auto Geek is great. I had some of their Klasse all in one left over from my previous hot rod. Used it on the Bigfoot cabover and was great. But I will check out the McKees...and the green towels.
What are applying the McKees with? White foam pad on a random orbit?

It says to use white pads, but I used green. I sent a message to McKees and within 5 minutes they answered to use any color of polishing pad.

I used this --




I get it from Auto Geek.com... goes on nice, and comes off really nice ! . . I put it On with an orbital, and I take it off by hand with green terry soft towels that I also get from auto geek... they are a bit expensive, but they are the best i have ever used to remove wax.

Here is a link to the towels I use - Auto geek towels

Thanks for the info I'll see about getting some. I always applied by hand and buffed, I'll try reversing. I use micro fiber towels doing windows I'll try the hand buff with them.

All i had was white terry cloth applicators on a 10" random orbital . .
