protective top coat

[bl831]

I have used my Nattys 2 times, and I really don't like using it. I want to make VERY clear, I am not taking away from what this product actually does. It seems to do its job very well. I, personally, just do not like using it. The actual applying of the product is what I am not liking, NOT the end result. Is there anything that I could use other than Natty's? Something that will do something at least similar to Natty's.

PwC, Pws, EX and EX-P will all protect. PwC or EX will likely give the closest looks to Natty's, as they both have some carnauba.
PwS and PwC are both 1 steppers, in that they polish and protect. EX and EX-P are "pure" sealants.

do you just not like applying by hand?

Maybe you are applying the Nattys TOO thick which will make removing it that much harder..just my 2 cents..

I don't mind applying by hand. This is the first paste type wax I have ever used, and its the paste thing I don't like. I will repeat it again, I am not taking away from what this product actually does. It beads water like no other. I, personally, just don't like using it.

it should be spread so thin you can barely see it and removal should be like butter after it hazes over ...

Natty's

I also have to agree, I like the products but I don't like the application. Not sure what exactly this person does not like about it but here's my opinion. It breaks up too easy. I tried the method of scraping some off with a utensil and applying it to pad. I tried tipping contained over and smearing right onto pad. Having to remove the whole piece of wax from the container each time to smear onto pad is bad cause you run a good risk of dropping the wax cause it's so slippery. I even tried keeping it in the container and tipping it over but then you sqeeze to hard and it breaks up in the container. I love the result of the wax too, it just needs to have an easier application. Maybe a liquid Natty's is the answer?

paste wax is not intended to be applied by a machine or to be removed from its jar :roll: if you need to do this, then try warming the wax up slightly in its jar and use saran wrap to hold it when it pops out ... when putting it back in the jar, keep the saran wrap around it for easy next removal :wink:

for a liquid alternative..try Polish w/ Carnauba , EX, EX-P, or Polish w/ Sealant

Thanks for your answer. I do already use EXP and love it. I was just trying a topper using Nattys. Someone else in the forum suggested putting some on a butter knife and putting on pad and someone else suggested removing it from the container with a latex glove. It comes out easy but break up when I place it back in the container. I guess I will just stick to the EXP. Again, I just thought I would see if I got a deeper look with the Nattys. Like it otherwise. How do you suggest using Natty's paste? What method? Thanks! Love the forum.

I think it's pretty easy to just use a damp microfiber or foam applicator and spread it really thin ..so thin you can barely see it ... I also like to spit shine ..spritzing some chilled Spray & Gloss first and then laying down the wax, then immediately buffing it off as it hazes. But like I said, if you put the jar (open) in a microwave for about 2-3 minutes, it will get softer and spread easier too, whether by hand or machine...

Ok, great! Will give it another try but I think I will stick to the mf or foam applicator pad method. It really is a great product.

With the additional tips on how to apply, I think I will give the car one more coat of Natty's, when the time comes, before I give up on it and go to a sealant only.
