Always wash and dry your car before waxing it. The paintwork must be clean and free of dust and dirt.
Wax your car in the shade.
Read the instructions on the wax product you are using to avoid making mistakes. Some brands work better when you let the wax dry a little before wiping it off; others require immediate wiping.
Avoid using too much wax in one go to prevent gobs from forming.
Apply wax in small, circular motions to one panel of the car at a time.
Use one towel to wipe away the wax residue, and another to polish the surface to a shiny finish.
Waxing is a process that requires time, patience and stamina.
