Default Wax it wet.. I'm a lazy sucker / too hot outside

It's too hot out there to slave away with polish & wax so today I am going to try out the 10 minute approach.

5 minute jetwash
5 minute wax it wet

Anyone else used this stuff before? Tips before I start?

The instructions are pretty much a 1 liner. "spray on when panel wet, wipe dry with chamois leather"

will post pics once I have got round to doing it..

Sounds lazy indeed! I wouldn't put much faith in any system that is just spray on and wipe off but thats just me...

BTW My sister accidentally taped over my donut footage! BOO!

I use it most weeks and it gives brilliant results!! My dad introduced me to it and he's one of these guys that buys all the products (you have to see the garage!!!). Its very easy to use, very quick and the car looks gleaming afterwards. At first I was a little sceptical until it rained and the water beaded off the body effortlessly. This product IMHO is a big step forward in automotive care

I tried some spray on stuff on my last car, but stoppped using it because I found the spray would squirt stuff into panel gaps etc where you couldn't polish it out.

I think you just have to make sure you spray it onto the middle of the panel rather than spray it all over the place.

You don't need much of the stuff per panel

yeah, right. it certainly made chammying easier, kind of felt like it broke the surface tension a bit and dried down well. is a little streaky. Could do with a dry rub down with a duster but yeah.. not bad for a lazy ass approach!

Hey if it's for lazy people, this sounds like the product for me. I just need a product for the windscreen now that stops the fecking flies sticking to it.

when you find it - let me know! I went out for a drive last night with the roof off and I practically had a 2mm film across the whole screen. Could have used the windscreen washers/wipers I suppose - but just had a swower, didn't need another som soon
