Polish and wax help

30 cm!??!!?!?!?!?

I use 2x 10 cent blobs to cover 1 bonnet.

Maybe less than that. I dont know how long the circumference of the mothers wax pad is. I squeeze out a thin strip so that it sits into the groove of the pad. Thinking more closely, probably more 20cm than 30cm

can only think of 2 other solutions,
if we've ruled out that you're using too much, then perhaps the car is hot when you're applying the polish? or perhaps you need to give a bit more shake on the bottle. if the first uses were a bit watery and the more recient usage is a lot thicker, then maybe add a lil water to the bottle to thin it down a little? anyone know?

Only drove it up the road to wash the car then back home in the garage. So car is relatively cool. Waited about 30min before commencing polish/wax process. Opened a brand new bottle. Shook it everytime i apply a strip on the pad. Oh well, we see what happens next time

Try slightly misting the pad with some water and use even less. When I use a pad to apply, I don't even squeeze a strip. I just put a very thin layer on the pad in the shape of a cross. After I apply the wax to the panel, it is almost invisible unless viewed at an angle. That is how little you are meant to use.

Also, NXT liquid wax was designed to be applied by hand, not by machine. So the consistency is a little bit too thick.

Use 1 x 10 cents at a time, do half a bonnet. After the first 2 panels, I find that I need to add even less for panels after that because the pad has wax on it. You shouldn't be able to see it on the paint with your eyes, but once you wipe it off, you can feel that the wax is on and smooth.

Spray pump bottle, I put a bit at the bottom, probably the area of a pikelet (those mini pancakes) and then fill the rest of the 400ml spray bottle up with water.

Whoa... what's way too much. You'd end up with your microfibre cloth being loaded up very quickly and will need more than 1 to buff the wax off.

Is your muffler originally chrome? If not, then you'll have having a looooong and fun time with Autosol.
