STARRINKS.COM NOVEMBER.DECEMBER.2016 / 43 The second wash , When finished working an area or whole machine, wash again fully with car wash soap. This will remove any solution left and bring the surfaces into that final, clean appearance you are striving for. Be sure to use a chamois or microfiber towel here to remove any left-over surface water. The wax , Applying waxes is that final step that takes the process level from a good to a great. Water will bead up on a freshly waxed surface and run right off quicker than before when they would tend to lay flat and stick. There are plenty of wax to choose from. The brand or style that you select won't matter, they all have the same effect. Starting on top of the snow tank, apply wax to the entire surface area you plan on working. Once the wax is dry to the touch, use a soft cotton cloth to wipe/polish the wax away. Keep moving to fresh areas of the cloth and polish away to a brilliant shine! Don't forget to take your time; wash, clean, prep, then wax the whole resurfacer, top to bottom, front to back. A clean, fresh, sharp looking machine will pay dividends for itself.
