Default Cleaner/paste wax does suck

But good Carnuba is easy to use. If you haven't cleaned it in awhile, then you've got to bite the bullet and get all the oxidation/garbage off. Once that's done though, if you keep it up with a good plain wax, then it won't go bad again.

There are quite a few Carnuba's out there now, and the difference is that they're just wax, no grit polish. They go on easy, and come off easy too, sonce you're not trying to take a layer of paint and grime off. A bit like waxing your furniture.

Default So sure you put a thick coat....

Many people confuse and think if they put thicker coat on it will protect better....right way to do it is go as thin as possible but rub it in real good...that's what the machine does esentially.

Default get an orbital buffer for like $20

makes it much easier for buffing and crap. And you should do it more often like every 3 months. It will make it much easier to do plus your car will look killer.
