How to hand wax a car?

Question

Winter is coming and I am ready to put a layer of wax on my car. I have:

- Mother's wax

- Mother's wax cleaner

I do not have any wax applicator, yet.

I am wondering if you guys could instruct me the correct procedures, as well as what other tools I need to acquire.

Answer 1

Try reading the instructions that are plainly printed in English on the wax bottles.  

HINT:     Use the cleaner wax first!

Answer 2

The newest and best thing out there for your car is not wax, If you do your homework you will find there are a multitude of problems associated with the application of wax.

Today acrylic paint conditioners have all the benefits of wax and none of the problems.

The new APCs are so good that people who promote wax have gone to ridiculous effort to discredit it in car maintenance forums that promote the use of wax.

Make no mistake wax does more harm than good to acrylic paint. It is time consuming messy and archaic.

If you want protection and a mirror  like shine with a fraction of the effort stay away from old fashion wax. There is nothing new about wax, every year the wax companies will change the packaging and the name but it is still the same old concept, rub on let dry and wipe off. the result is spider webs in the paint that you can never get rid of.

If you are serious about keeping  your car looking its best ignore the parrots who keep blindly telling people to use wax.

Get you a pure liquid non abrasive acrylic conditioner,  it contains no wax or polish and there is nothing that will make your car look better faster longer.

If you take a close look at a cars paint that has been waxed you will see swirl marks and spider web scratches in the paint. You won't see these on a new car, only a car that has been subject the the  friction involved in applying wax.

will have these problems.

wax was OK for enamel paint but it  was never meant for acrylic paint.
