    Awlcraft, wax it or don’t?

    Hi everyone. Please share your experience of waxing Awlcraft painted surfaces. I am hearing and reading different opinions regarding waxing Awlcraft painted surfaces. The Awlcraft website says do not apply wax on the paint, Also a previous Handy Man told me if you wax this paint it will attract dirt like a magnet, however, I had two painters who are telling me that you can definitely buff and Wax Awlcraft paint to maintain the paint to keep on looking shinny. What was your experience? Thanks

    Awlcraft 2000 is a very different production awlgrip.

    Awlgrip does not get compounded and waxed. It's a linear polyurethane enamel

    Awlcraft gets compounded and polished. It like imron is a an acrylic.

    By the way Bobk is right. No wax
