Okay after you have washed your car with the tips we have given its time to protect that paint with some wax.......after reading my newest blog story, share your waxing tips here!!
If all youre doing is applying a coat of wax to your car for protection again the elements then I agree with your post. But if you want that really deep super shine - there's a bit more to the story.
There are also different scenarios to watch out for that would require different approaches to waxing. Such as -
Are you trying remove hazing?
Are you trying to remove swirls?
Are you simply just putting some wax on for shine?
Very simply put - all good finishes should start with a clay bar. If thats already done and your paint is already flawless and you havent waxed in awhile then a good paste wax should be used. If you recently waxed and are supplementing the wax for longevity then all you need is a quick sealant removed with a microfiber.
If youre trying to remove hazing or swirling then check out the various companies 2 and 3 step paint correction kit. Those require a dual action polisher. You should NEVER have to use a rotary and wool pad on ANYTHING other than right after fresh paint to knock down the orange peel and blending.
Thats just the short of it. A sweet first time polish and seal could take all day.
