I apply it by hand.

1. Wash the truck with Dawn
2. Used Meguires Body Scrub to remove a few waterspots and "crap".
3. Wash with Dawn again.
4. Made sure truck was dry.
5. Applied & removed LG by hand in sections. I did it by body part (fender, door, tailgate, etc...). I did the hood in two sections.

Harley#356 applies it the whole truck then wipes it off. But it is personal preference. Either way it will look great.

yup, i do the whole truck at once, then go back to where i started and start wiping off. Sometimes the hood streaks, so i'll redo it and not let it dry all the way before i wipe it off. If that doesn't work a little water sprinkled on the hood gets them off. Good luck, you won't be disappointed if you do it right

Just make sure there is no wax on your paint. You need to strip that 1st. LG won't bond right. Another guy did a cleaner wax 1st and then LG right after and wondered why it wasn't looking its best.

As i always say, you can wax over glass, but you can't glass over wax.

good luck, post pics

if you were going to wax over glass what would you use is it worth doing that or is the glass fine as a final touch and never need wax again if you keep up on the glass?

I don't use wax at all. The LG is perfectly fine as a final coat and looks great. Some people wax over it, but then every time you wanna add more LG, you gotta strip the wax

I just use the LG, and have been using it on the truck since i got it.

Yup, wax it with Carnauba 2-3 times a year, over the LG. It won't penetrate the 'glass, will help protect it.
This from properautocare.com:

Synthetic waxes contain man made polymers with melting points in the thousands of degrees F. These coatings can last 6 to 9 months or longer. Some of these products bead water while others “plate” the surface causing water to sheet off. This lack of a visual cue (beading water) often makes it difficult to determine when to re-apply synthetic products. If you use Klasse All-In-One, Liquid Glass, Stoner Polish & Seal, Meguiar’s No. 20 Poly Sealant or Autoglym Super Resin Polish a good rule is to wax your car once in the spring and again late fall. This should give your car good protection all year long.

yup, its all just preferance. You really don't have too, its just added unnecissary work IMO. I say why put on cheap wax when you could just glass it instead. Then ya don't have to worry about striping the wax everytime also.
