User comments on Amazon seem to say you use a VERY small amount. Any other tips?
A little goes a long way Dan, you want to put on a very thin coat. I apply it with a Porter Cable random orbital polisher and a foam finishing pad, and buff the wax by hand with soft terry cloth towels. If you don't have a polisher you can apply the wax by hand. Again, the key is a light coat of wax.


I'm sure you will like the end result.
