Default Question about removing Wax

First of all, contrary to my sig, I'll be waxing a silver A4.

Once the wax is applied, about how many MF towels would I need to remove wax from the entire body?

microfibertech towels, by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Actually it depends on, type of wax, type of towels and how heavily you apply the wax. The MF towels will remove quite a bit of wax but after awhile they do get "filled up" and then you're just moving wax around, not really removing it. For my TT I usually use two (both sides of each). For an A4 you'd probably need 3. You could get away with 2 but your life will be easier if you switch to a clean towel if the others are pretty full.

Default i've found that using a quick detailer allows me ...

to remove wax much more efficiently, both in terms of towels and time.

My method as well, though I add a final flannel buff still. Old school I guess.
