How to Use The Wash Wax Mop
The Waterless Wash Wax Mop lets you safely clean and protect large painted surfaces — aircraft, RVs, boats, and more — with no water and no streaks. Follow these four steps every time.
Prime 1
Spray the Wet side with 10–20 spray pumps of Wash Wax ALL. (This is to prime a new dry pad.)
Spray On 2
Spray Wash Wax ALL on the area to be cleaned. We recommend about one spray pump per sq. ft.
Wet Side 3
Wipe the area with the Wet side of the mop.
Dry Side 4
Flip the mop to the Dry side and dry the area before the Wash Wax ALL dries on its own.
How-To Video
- When applying to hard-to-reach areas, rotate the sprayer nozzle to stream and spray Wash Wax ALL onto the surface OR spray directly onto the Wet side of the Mop and then wipe the area to be cleaned. You can also use our Pump-Up Sprayer.
- Keep the wet-side pad only damp — do not oversaturate it. Oversaturating can cause streaking. If the wet-side pad becomes too wet, stop spraying Wash Wax ALL onto the pad or the surface. Continue wiping new areas until the
- Rotate the pads once the Wet side pad gets dirty, replace it with the Dry side pad and put a fresh clean pad on the Dry side. This will allow you to get the most use out of each pad.
- Top Down — clean the high areas first to prevent spray mist from landing on clean areas.
- Stay up-wind — keep the dirty areas downwind of your cleaning spray.
- Clean the windows last. After all painted surfaces have been cleaned, put (2) fresh & clean pads on the mop head and clean the windows. (See the How to Clean Windows guide.)
- Keep drying time in mind. In hot, dry conditions, the product will dry faster, so work on smaller sections at a time. In cold or humid weather, it dries more slowly, allowing you to clean and dry larger areas before moving on. The important thing to remember is that you must fully dry the Wash Wax ALL before it dries on its own — this prevents streaking.
-
- Tighten the wingnut on the pivot using a pair of pliers. This prevents the mop from pivoting too freely — aim for some resistance to ensure controlled movement.
- The tilt lockout screw on the swivel secures the tilt option. Start with it locked for ease. When ready, remove and store it in the bottom hole — it may feel tricky initially, but unlocked tilt boosts flexibility, maneuverability, and horizontal cleaning. Requires a push-button extension pole (not twist-and-lock).
Do Not use the Mop from a ladder!
WARNING: The mop was designed to eliminate the need for a ladder. DO NOT USE THE WASH WAX MOP FROM A LADDER as you will not be able to maintain three points of contact on the ladder, risking a fall and injury.
