i use a microfiber towel to remove the wax...
then i sweep my California Car-Duster over the car...
then go back over the car with a different microfiber towel





all shiny and no left-overs

I like to use two microfiber towels (from Costco). One to get the wax off and then another to wipe off any remaining residue.
