It’s been a process trying to figure it out, the first time I thought i applied too much and it was all white and nasty when I hung it out in the sun, turns out i didn’t apply enough heat for it to melt in. I ended up washing it with dish soap and a brush in the sink.
I started using an actual heat gun the second attempt and thought I was heating it too much and it was evaporating but I guess you just need to do a ton of wax as it soaks in and looks flat until you do several coats to get that shiny smooth look I wanted. I basically started rubbing it in a lot harder like in the second image but the bar started to run out.
If I started from scratch it’ll probably take like two bars for the jacket.
The little tooth brush thing from otter helped a ton to smooth in the wax chunks and brush lint out as I went. No idea how long it lasts but you need to reapply like once a year according to youtube.
This video helped me out a lot and random comments from reddit, I also threw it in the dryer for like 10 minutes against the videos recommendations but some other video said it helped even it all out so I was desperate and tried it and it helps get rid of the sticky feel and a lot of the white spots that showed up when the wax dried
