Fast Cap Softwax fill sticks?

[semenza]

Anyone use these?  Results?

Is it soft enough to mush together and then press into cracks and holes, or is it harder like crayon types that you rub into holes?

It's definitely harder like a crayon. I usually use a heat gun to get them pliable. I have a love hate relationship towards the FastCap wax!

Definitely harder sort.  Mash it in, scrape off excess with plastic scraper, then buff out with white scotchbrite pad.
Mohawk is nice, but the Fastcap set is very economical and convenient.  If I need to adjust color, I melt different chunks together into a new wad.
Also, the white Fastcap filler doesn't yellow over time (unlike some others I've tried.)

Thanks, that is worth noting.

I like them, though they could have put more then just one of the scuff pads in the case. Once you use it for a darker wax it is absolutely useless for the white.

Mowhawk all the way.  The fast cap is a good starter kit though.  As far as using the buffer, don't.  Unless you like shiny areas in the middle of a panel that you've touched up, or on a flat piece of trim.  A painters rag works just as well.
