Waxing

You may want to rinse off the vehicle after buffing before this step. Be sure to let it dry. I prefer to hand wax a vehicle as opposed to using a buffer for this step. I also like to use carnauba paste wax as the product. With this wax there is no chalky residue, and wipes off wet. Wax pads work great. Just apply wax to pad and apply to surface in a circular pattern.

After you have applied it to the entire vehicle, you can start to remove it. It is best to use microfiber towels to remove the wax. This will avoid putting any scratches in your newly buffed paint. Once you have removed all of the wax, be sure to open all the doors, hood, trunk and gas lid in order to remove and compound built up in the cracks and jambs. Just use a damp rag or towel to do this.
