Applying PB's natty blue paste wax?

[99atlantic]

Stupid question ( :/ ) -> I'm used to using Meguair's type waxes whereby you just shake and squeeze the bottle and it comes out onto your applicator - now I see that the paste wax is just a solid lump of wax....I've never used anything like that before - am I supposed to just take my applicator and rub it around on the wax, then wax my car? Or should I dampen the applicator first like the directions say? i don't know; i'm so lost on this n00b question

Yeah, that's about it. I always dampen the applicator.

i findign that by spraying your foam applicator pad w/ water first then rub it around the wax works best..helps u apply it really thin

yup i always moist my applicator pad before applying paste wax.

whether it be a light mist of water, or #34

What happens if you don't dampen it first? (just curious because usually I suck at dampening things and usually end up just soaking them ^_^ )

it makes it hard to apply the wax as some of the pad is dry

what I do is take some QD (quick detailer) and wet the foam then ring it out now you have a dampened pad
