Wax technique

Instead of using baby powder, use wax. I use some "shaping spray" from my distributor. Enprodistributing.com.

Spray it on, or if not in a can, wipe a small amount on the back glass. Let haze up a little. Do your "H" with a damp paper towel to anchor the film and shape from the middle up/down. You can hold a heat gun on the film for a long time with wax before it starts to burn the film.

Anyone else do em this way? At least for more curved bg's??

I use a spray on wax from auto magic instead of the soap also. Nice tip

A new one to me but sounds well worth a try. thanks guys

Its basically the same as the slip solution spray on and soap method. The wax just drys to a light haze and give the film the float. Good luck

does it also make from what kind of wax you uses? Can you use also carwax?(like turtle wax,valma wax etc.)

Lemon pledge sometimes on the harder b./g. other than powder is slower.

you can use any wax.........just dont use a lot.

sound's like the soap method ,but messing

Is this easier/better than the soap technique??

even with clean up ,dryer sheet's are just like wax at least that's what chuck told me

i still use soap tech but when you have a very curved glass, or defrosters that form bannanas, i use wax. It lets the film move and form to the curve...relaxing the film...much like the dryer sheet (which ive never used) and baby powder. The benefit to wax over powder, is less messy, and less chance of debris. I use wax on ALL Altimas 02 and newer, and ALL Lexus and some Toyotas. I hate having to go back to take care of a pesky bannana.

try the dryer sheet's you'll love em plus no mess

do you get the sheet wet and wipe it on and let haze up?

At SEMA last week a tinter from Sweden informed me that if you used anything other than Plexus you were doing it wrong. A friend told me it still leaves a oil type residue on the window to clean up but I have never used it........ what up who's tried it?

Yup but I don't like to get it real thick on the glass. I like to use a old sheet or wash one out good JUST REMEMBER IT MIGHT GIVE YOU CANCER. sorry about the screaming but it could be true... someone has a link to more info

I have always used wax for every back glass unless it's nearly flat and an easy wet shrink, hardly ever have to deal with fingers and almost never have to rid a back glass of bananas. Just spray a very light coat in the middle of the back glass staying away from the edges so i don't have to wipe down any paint then rub it in with a paper towel to get full coverage. when I am done shrinking and cutting the film and have put it on the peel board then i use a cloth buffer cover and it wipes right off and leaves the back glass looking very clean. Makes for a nice easy shrink and on the tougher b/g's there's really no other way to go for me.

Ive always used bounce dryer sheets but I always spray rubbing alcohol on the sheet lightly and then rub it on the back glass. The alcohol dries real fast and if you lightly rub it on there want be much mess to clean.

I used to wet shrink everything and I still think theres a use for it on some cars, but am loving the dryer sheet method now. Did a bunch of cars this past week that always drove me crazy with bananas on the defroster lines, but no more. All came out perfect, even the matrix dots borders. From the dread I've heard about the use of dryer sheets, I use Snuggles lightly wet and bunched up with rubber gloves on.

I like wax.
