Are you using AquaWax wet or dry?

I've been happily using Klasse AIO for years along with KSG, but thought I'd try using AW with the wife's new car after reading all the good things about it here.



So I've been using it "wet", as the directions suggest. I squeegee most of the final rinse off, then spray on the AW and towel dry. It takes longer to get the final dryness using the AW than not, but no problem.



But it does seem to be a problem on the glass. I end up having to clean the glass of the slight smeariness that seems to stay behind. On my other car (on which I don't use the AW), the drying towel also polishes the glass and I never have to follow up with glass cleaning, so I'm pretty sure it's the AW.



Of course the instructions also say that you can use on a dry vehicle in a WIWO method, more like I use the KSG on my car.



What do you users of AW do?
 
I use it dry. I always blow off the car with the leaf blower to blow most the water off and then finish with a Last Touch......every couple of weeks I replace the Last Touch with Aquawax after the wash. This makes it easy since I use the same procedure every time...just swap the QD for AW every so often.
 
I also dry first then AW. I found my WW drying towels loose some of their ability to absorb when I use it with AW. I also thinks it works better this way.
 
I use it dry as well. I do the same thing - I end up spraying it on the windows, but they smear a little so I go get some window cleaner and cleaning the glass. It happens every time - you think I'd learn to just not spray the windows.
 
Shake it. Use it wet -- while drying. That's the easiest, quickest way for me. I use it with Absorber. It works great, and the Absorber always smells lovely:)
 
I use it dry too on the whole car including the windows and trim pieces.



Be sure to use very little AW. As you make your way around the car you will accumulate enough AW on the towel so that you don't have to spray much onto the panels at all. SHAKE, spritz some on, apply it with the MF towel, turn the towel to a clean section, and buff off of the paint/glass.



Step back and enjoy.



:woot2:
 
i've used it both wet and dry. i even applied it with a foam applicator and bufed it, anyway i use it it comes out great, just depends on my mood.
 
I use it dry.



However after drying the car there's often a tiny bit of water still on the car.



Works much better than wet.
