[QUOTE="Thomas Tkach, post: 395575, member: 1422"] Re: Carnuaba Wax, pure wax must be applied with a buffer because it doesn't melt unless it gets hot (friction from the buffer). Any wax you're applying with a hand clothe is dissolved in something or otherwise mixed with other stuff. If you don't have a buffer and don't want one, then by all means use that sort of thing. I also forgot to mention rim char. If the top of the pipe is level, you can usually spit on a paper towel, lay it on a flat surface, and twist the pipe's rim on it while applying pressure to remove the char without damaging the finish too much.
