For Vac bagging I just use carnauba paste wax from the auto parts store. I used to use "Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #26". When that brand became suddenly unavailable in my local stores I just grabbed a can of "Mothers California Gold". Both of these are just yellow carnauba paste wax in a can. They do not mention cleaning compounds on the label. The only reason I can think of for using something more exoctic than carnauba wax for Vac bagging is if you want to have an easier time painting the mylars. If you use carnauba wax on the mylars then you will also have to use a very specific and carefull technique when you paint the mylars to avoid fisheyes (in the paint). If you use Dolphin wax; http://www.superminnow.com/hmracing/racing/about.html you can use a more careless painting technique and even use slower drying (slower than Krylon) paint without fisheye problems. The down side of Dolphin wax is that it is a nuisance to get, is more expensive, is harder to buff if you let it try too much and will dry up if you don't keep it in a good airtight container. To buy Dolphin wax, go to the link above. You won't find it listed on that site but must email Harold and ask for it. Phil RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
