uninspiring CMW results

[darkRide]

Did my first detail (ever.)



Clayed, polished and put on a some RMG. Wow the RMG gave much life to the black paint.



So I was all the more looking forward to the CMW. But right after the first panel I found it was kind of muting the RMG if anything, and not bringing anything of its own to the show.



I must have done something wrong with the moose wax. I did the first panel with the PC and a black pad on low speed. I then switched to applying it by hand. I varied the time I've let the wax dry on different panels looking for a better result, nay.



Should I give CMW another shot this summer or try something like Natty bue?

I did not like natty blue, i thought cmw had good wetness but was not very slick

Which one did you use? Carnauba Moose (white) or regular Moose Wax (brown)? Carnauba Moose definitely has a darkening affect.

The white one. That's probably it, it darkened the paint. I used to put gold class, it definitely doesn't give the same effects.



What's the best way to apply it with the PC? I did some with a black pad, speed 2.

I usually apply it by hand. By machine, use a finishing pad and speed of 3.

I've always applied it by hand and worked it panel by panel. From my perspective, CMW gives more of a "glow" than "wetness". With that being said, it's possible that it's muting the wetness you're achieving with RMG. I can't say for sure as I've never applied it over RMG. Scott^^ should have better insight wrt that.

I really like CMW, it is more of darken effect, plus wettness sounds right. I usually apply to the whole vehicle, wait about 20-30 minutes then remove. A very easy product to remove, I also apply/remove by hand.
