Ive just recently brought this stuff but over here its called 'johnsons clear floor wax'. Ive been experimenting on scrap pieces by dipping and brushing and this is wot i have found;

By brushing u will get acceptable results, it goes on effortlessly and flattens out beautifully and leaves absolutely no brush strokes. watch out for tiny air bubbles which are a bitch to remove - this seems to be caused if u continuously go over and over the previous strokes - so just brush over once and leave it. I prefer to use a cotton bud to apply it as it wont cause any air bubbles and can be thrown away, it wont affect the finish at all.

Dipping will cause runs and the wax tends to 'pool' up around the edges as it cant run off, u will need to use a brush to soak up the excess in this case. I have not airbrushed it yet but i would say this is the best method, the modelers in Tamiya Model Magazine use it alot and from the pictures it looks superb. Go for this as it can also be airbrushed straight from the bottle.

I am not aware of the yellow version u mention but i would guess go for the clear one. Hope this helps wong?
