I'm applying a couple coats carnuba wax to my TAF playield. I've cleaned the area and applied the wax, let it glaze over for about 15 minutes and wiped the access away with a soft cloth.

It doesn't feel smooth at all, however. In fact, when I run my hand over it, it feels very...dry, I guess is how I'd explain it. I know it's not supposed to feel wet, but it just doesn't feel like something that is waxed should feel-very smooth and easy to move your bare hand across.

Any thoughts? I'm using Trewax-Clear Paste Wax.

Thanks

You should be able to slide a cloth over it and it should just glide with no effort. Did you get all the wax off? Maybe there is still some there.

Yea, I mean I'm buffing it out (soft cloth and wiping in circular motion). I don't see anything on there-looks clean, but doesn't feel...waxed. Just dry... Should I be waiting longer after I apply it before buffing?
