Blitz? Hard?

Hi,



I ordered some One Grand Blitz Wax, which has arrived today. After opening the tin, the wax looks and seems "hard". is this normal for a carnuaba wax? Do you have to warm it up at all to make it 'melt' a little before using it?



Apologies but I've never used a carnuaba before. Tips would be handy!
 
I use 3M Perfect-It Paste wax which is like a ROCK! I use it once a month (overkill) on my daily commuter parked outside 24x7.



The best thing to do is to use a yellow foam applicator and mist with a cheap QD like Eagle One Wipe n Shine ($4 at KMart). Then massage the wax and you'll be able to pick it up and layer a nice thin coat. It will be very easy to apply and removal will be easier as well.



Use the QD again when you feel it getting harder to apply. I actually spray it in the jar on top of the wax and then wipe the pad on the wax. This way it soaks it all up.



This is a great method - trust me. It's a life saver.



Remember, THIN coats! And the Blitz is good for layering. Do it every week for like 3 weeks and you'll be set for a while with some solid protection.

Thanks for the tips. Should I use a damp applicator pad?

Yes, mist with the QD that I recommended. The Eagle One Wipe n Shine. That will provide the dampness that will aid in the application. You can buy EVERYWHERE!
 
I think I've heard of folks that use Blitz applying it with their fingers...the heat from their hand "melts" the wax. You might do a search.

Its hard yes quite normal. I tend to warm it by rubbing my fingers round the tin a bit and then applying the applicator. I dampen the app with megs F.I or Eimmen Fabrik clear pearl. If not just spritz your pad with water if you have no qd.
 
ok, I'll give it a go with water, because I have no QD at the moment. I think it might take a bit of experimentation to get this right! :)

Oops! Didn't see you are from across the pond! :brit



Try any QD that you can get your hand on or just go with good old water. Try puting some distilled water in a spray bottle and use like that! Mist the wax or your applicator pad and apply. It'll work.
 
Pies, welcome to Autopia, its great to see more and more Brits here.



Clare, dont worry to much about a QD, I have been using Blitz for some time with no QD. Dont forget to have a look at the Dr Wack range at Iauto.

I'm not convinced its exactly the same like S100 is to P21S but I am pretty sure it comes from the same manufacturer, using similar products.



Steve may have another slant on this one, I'm not sure.
 
I will give the Blitz a try first, then probably try and get hold of some S100 from a Harley dealer.
 
It is a long story about Wack and P21S, however, all the stuff from Wack which I have tried, I like a lot. If you were to only get one product from Wack, get the shampoo. You will not regret it. I am sure Rich or Nick did a review a while ago.



As for Blitz, apply thin layers with a soft foam pad. A tin should last a long long time.
