You can use it. Now that was back in 1978. I used it all weekend Thrusday night during set up all the way to Sunday Morning. Once you sprayed your truck ( VAN) all you had to do was use the same cloth and wipe off any finger prints or what ever else and it was gone. But he also told us. NOT to use it outside CAUSE it attracks Wasps & Honey Bee's . So after the show I gave that to my wife . But that stuff was really slippery. Remember this was 1978. We didn't have a spray wax back then . See what us older guys had to go thru ?
Rick & Tadd,The guy at the museum of transportation uses PLEDGE on the 1963 turbine car .. He said it's never been waxed only PLEDGE ..

I do like Zaino's waxes. They have a lot of great products that need to be used in conjunction to get an amazing wet look.

On quicker days, I like to use Meguiars Ultimate Compound, Scratch-X, and NXT2 wax. I have the wax in both Liquid and Paste form. Depending on how much protection I have on the car.

X2, I use Adams Fine Machine Polish, Brilliant Glaze, and then Americana.

I am a big fan of Adam's for the results and he does his best to source all products from the USA

The real will be when I try it on the Mustang and see what results I get with the darker paint color. I'm not a fan of paste wax because I like to use the orbital to apply the liquid form.
If you like the Surf City, give the beyond clay a try first, I use with a PC before correction or wax. If you take that step first your clear will be clean and get a better adherence of the wax.

We used pledge on the hardwood floors when we were kids. We'd spray it down and slid down the entire hall in our socks We would use the entire can, mom was not happy. Good times for sure

I always use the orbital to remove the wax and then buff with a microfiber. I'm gonna try it to apply when I wax for winter.
