OK - thanks Frosty. That's the application side taken care of. What do you use to buff off the wax?

15min to apply wax? Is it the Quik Wax spray Frosty? Takes me an hour.

For buffing off I used to use cotton terry toweling but I switched to microfibre about a year ago. It's a much faster process with them.

It's pointless putting carnuba over anything but a pristine finish.
"Mothers" system is

Prewax cleaner
Sealer and glaze
Carnuba wax.

Just run over then with the carnuba monthly and wallah!

FROZZLED (literally - been out all day with Hells Angels all day - WHEW!!!!!!).

Frosty - I took your advice and bought phase 1 and 2 of the Mother's system.
Spent about 5 hours washing, chamoising, applying and buffing prewax cleaner, applying and buffing sealer and glaze and applying and buffing canubra wax.
I'm all buffed out!!!
Finish is nice and shiny and even the missus commented on how shiny the paintwork was even in the dull afternoon light.
So I'm very satisfied with the result.
Thanks for the good advice Frosty and I'll copy Apps as well and keep a microfibre cloth in the car for urgent clean up operations.
Oh - after all the scratch remover, cleaning polishing waxing etc, the bird **** stain remains - little figger caused me 5 hours of work!
