After the foam and wash off with a mitt, would you apply a wax from the pressure washer rather than mixing in a bucket?

???
Are you talking about wash'n'wax products?

Wax should be applied by hand using a foam applicator in thin, overlapping layers, left to cure (5-20 mins typically) and then buffed off using a clean microfibre cloth.

I got a PA foam lance for christmas - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pa-foam-lance-cat2.html - Still getting use to it but it gets good reviews.

Works really well with Meg's all purpose cleaner - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/meguiars-all-purpose-cleaner-cat17.html.

Have a got a photo somewhere of the 1st time I used it...

Given that APC can strip the LSP (ie wax or sealant) I avoid using it unless I'm stripping the car down (ie clay, polish, cleanse etc). Snowfoam at the appropriate dilution is more safe.
