What models are you painting? The technique you describe best suits models with lots of nooks and crannies the wash can flow in to. Models with large flat areas tend to not work as well, as the wash is harder to get smooth on such areas and since there's no crevices, the wash has no where to flow to create contrast.
However, in general, my advice is to use a very large brush and apply the wash liberally, a large flat tipped brush makes it easier to apply and manipulate the wash without it pooling where you don't want.
Personally I apply a large amount of wash with a big brush and then wipe the brush on a tissue and remove the excess wash from the model as needed. One of the enemies of washing is splotchiness caused by the wash drying on the model and then you passing over it a 2nd time with your brush, if you apply more wash than you need and remove the excess like I described, the wash is less likely to dry on the model because you manipulate it to where to want it.
Another technique is to only apply the wash to the crevices rather than to the entire surface. In that case, use a finer brush and just apply it more carefully to the crevices.
