[DeTomaso] Wax on, wax off.

[David in Durango]

Chuck et al,

Thanks to Bill on the cold water tip.  Never heard that before.  I have always used "Dawn" to remove wax - or more correctly not dawn to try to preserve the wax.

Currently I'm using Collinite 845 and it is the color of carnuba.

This time of year, I sit the bottle on top of a dark colored car for a few minutes to  warm the bottle so the wax is liquid.  In other weather it goes into a pan of hot water until it becomes liquid.  Goes on easy and comes off easy and I believe it lasts as well as the hard to apply waxes.

A fresh wax job (go Larry) will give smaller beads . . .

I've heard that the Zymol type multi coat waxes are a nightmare for painters<<<<RUMOR.

One tip to keeping the wax on the car is to wash it with cold water, and use only "car wash"   I paint cars for my living and have to remove wax. That's when I use hot water and Tide detergent. Dish soap will strip it as well.. Bill 1362
