How to Apply SOFT99 Extreme Gloss Wax Black

1. Wash the Vehicle Thoroughly

Wash the vehicle using a suitable car shampoo to remove loose dirt, dust, and road grime. Rinse the paintwork thoroughly.

2. Prepare the Paintwork

Dry the vehicle completely using a clean microfiber drying towel.

For the best results, consider using a clay bar if the paintwork has bonded surface contamination. A clean, smooth surface helps the wax spread evenly.

3. Prepare the Applicator

Use the included sponge applicator. Take a moderate amount of wax onto the sponge without overloading it.

4. Apply a Thin, Even Layer

Spread the wax evenly across the paintwork using light, consistent movements.

Work on one panel at a time, such as the hood, roof, or individual doors. Avoid applying excessive product.

5. Allow the Wax to Dry

Allow the wax to dry for approximately 5–15 minutes before buffing.

Drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity. In warmer conditions, work panel by panel to prevent the wax from over-curing. Colder conditions may require additional drying time.

6. Buff with a Clean Microfiber Towel

Once the wax has dried, gently buff away the residue using a clean, soft microfiber towel.

Turn the towel frequently to expose a clean section and ensure all remaining wax residue is removed.

7. Inspect the Finish

Inspect the paintwork under good lighting. If you notice any remaining haze or uneven residue, gently buff the affected area again with a clean microfiber towel.

Recommended Aftercare & Maintenance

To maintain the glossy appearance and protective performance of SOFT99 Extreme Gloss Wax Black:

• Wash regularly using a suitable pH-neutral car shampoo.

• Avoid unnecessarily aggressive cleaning chemicals.

• Use clean microfiber wash mitts and drying towels.

• Rinse the vehicle thoroughly after washing.

• Dry the paintwork to help prevent water spots.

• Use a compatible maintenance spray to refresh gloss between waxing sessions.

• Reapply Extreme Gloss Wax Black when water repellency and protective performance begin to diminish.

Important Precautions

• Use only on black and other compatible dark-coloured painted surfaces.

• Apply to clean, thoroughly dry paintwork.

• Do not apply in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.

• Avoid application in sandy, dusty, or windy conditions.

• Do not use on unpainted plastic, tires, rubber, glass, lenses, leather, or other surfaces not specified by the manufacturer.

• If the wax contacts an unintended surface, wipe it off immediately using a clean towel.

• Do not leave the product on the paintwork for an extended period, as this can cause unevenness or staining.

• For repainted vehicles, deteriorated coatings, or paintwork in poor condition, test on an inconspicuous area first.

• If the applicator is dropped on the ground, do not continue using it.

• Use in a well-ventilated area.

• Wear suitable protective gloves and wash hands thoroughly after use.

• Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. The product is flammable.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Store below 40°C, away from direct sunlight, humidity, freezing temperatures, and moisture.
