I apply my wipe on finishes with a brush. I allow them to soak in and make sure to reapply more finish to areas that seem to soak it up. I wait for it to develop a little tack and then I wipe off the excess with a paper towel. That is followed by another wipe with cheese cloth and lastly if necessary I wipe with a white non-abrasive pad vigorously scrubbing the surface. When I wipe I wipe thoroughly....

Then I look for any bleedback and wipe some more if necessary. After an hour or so, I apply another coat and go through the whole process again until I get the level of finish I like.

The last step after I am through with all my finish applications is to rub the surface down with some 7/0 steel wool to remove any nibs in the finish. Then it on to the Beall, first buffing with just the coarse wheel before applying any compounds or waxes.
