Be sure to use Mothers Step 3 which does not have any abrasives in
it.

OK, here are a couple of naive questions. Why use an automotive waxing
product (e.g. Mother's) rather than something marketed in the aviation
waxing application market (e.g., Aero Cosmetics)? Are they the same
thing is different packages?

Just joined the forum and probably have more questions than answers
right now!


I talked to one of the manufacturers that sell stuff for cars, boats and
planes here in Germany (Poly-Lack, www.carlack.de) and asked about the
difference, as we have used both the car and the plane variety in our
club. They look the same, but the plane stuff ist slightly more
expensive than the car variety.

The manufacturer (actually also a pilot) confirmed that it basically is
the same formula, with a little more polishing (= abrasive) component in
the car variant, and more UV-protection in the plane variant. Makes
sense to me.
