50/50 wax question

OK, I just recieved my JetSeal 109, cg 50/50 wax, and the Speed wipe. I did 2 coats of js (came out great btw). BUT, this may seem like a really stupid question, the 50/50 wax didn't come with any instructions. I can't find anywhere that it contains any carnauba, so do put it on and let it dry to a haze? OR do I buff it off right away? And does anybody know its composition?

i would think you let haze over. especially since you did 2 coats of jet seal before it. Just applying and wiping might not give it enough time to really bond with the 2 coats of jet seal.

Let it haze and use SpeedWipe to help take it off. Just spray on top of the wax and it will help you take it off.

50/50 goes on really thin and its kinda hard to see, but you will be able to once it hazes. It is very easy to wipe off and as L R G said, finish with some speed wipe for anti-static purposes as well as helping take all the wax off.
