Default Waxing plugs and molds

I'm getting ready to start waxing my fuselage plug in preparation of making molds. I really hate this process. What methods other than A LOT of elbow grease are you all using to make this less labor intense. Is there any small palm buffers out there being used, and if so what make and where do you buy them? I'm using, and have always used, Partall wax.

Throw the Partall wax away and get some Meguiar's mold release wax buffs out much better and slicker by hand .

Hi I would use this mold wax. I have used it on several projects and it is used by professionals.

It is called Dolphin Wax.

I have not had part stick. Just rub a few layers and go.
