Buffing wax off.... finger foam things.

[Louisa911]

Hello!

 

Always loved detailing my cars and on Saturday I'm gonna set to work on my Zed for the first time.

 

Got myself a panel pot of Supernatural this time and a couple of those red foam finger applicator things.

 

Normally I use Simoniz hard wax in a tin, with a microfibre to both apply and buff out.

 

Anyone used these foam finger pads before and do you reckon its best to use them to apply AND buff off, or simply just apply then use a microfibre to remove?

 

Thanks

Louisa

When I use the Dodo Juice stuff, I use the foam applicator to apply, but a microfibre cloth to buff off; not saying thats the correct way to do it, but it always looks good for me

[Louisa911]

Nice one thanks jjt, guessed so. Best get a few more microfibres in then

I highly recommend everything I used in my thread linked below, especially the Z8 and Prima Amigo

Now that looks stunning! Very good job done with that. Surprising how glossy you can get that colour! Gunmetal never looks that good in pics

 

Will remember those next time I'm stocking up on stuff.

That.

cant fault Dodo Supernatural. Awesome stuff and easy to apply. Also use dodo tropical mist the day after for even better results

I use these for the removal of any wax. Supper plush and luxurious.

I just got four large single ones off ebay, worked out about £6 delivered so will have to see how they go. Plus an extra large drying towel because I despise Chamois leathers!

Chamois Leathers....... ***shudder***

I use the supernatural finger mitts to apply:

 

 

 

And the supernatural microfibers to buff off:

 

 

Both are good but a little pricey, I'd only use them for waxing. BTW, try cold distilled water in a spray bottle after the wax - I think there's a post on the dodo juice site about it.

Best thing i found to use was this great person called PRISTINE DETAILING {Wasso} surprisingly good result with no effot from me but you get what you pay for

As the others have said, foam mitt on, microfibre off. Job done.

 

 

GM can be shiney, just needs a good polish and wax...
