I really need to wax my car too, but I don't have anyplace that's shady to do it in. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] It sucks having a garage that is more of a junk room than a garage. We seriously need to clean that place out so I can start working on my car in the shade.

Rep Power: 0 i used meguiars wax, i recomend it. good stuff, and it was only like 5 bucks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] it repells water like crazy. i also put the rain-x stuff on the windows, my car now has like a force field around it. and the car feels sooooo smooth.

Rep Power: 0 yeah, i hate getting the wax stuck in those places, but this meguiars stuff didn't seem to do that. i was trying to be careful in the begining and not get it stuck, but then i just decided that was too much work. and when i went to take the wipe the wax off the car, it came right off the weather strips and all the plastic. no problem whatsoever.

Rep Power: 0 no, it's not too much, in fact when i was putting it on i thought it was too little. i put it on so it went almost clear, but it dried white, so it looks like i overdidi it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Look @ the pic. There's White and there's a haze of white. There should be only a haze of white but you got dark spots of white all over the place.
what kinda wax did you use anyway?

Rep Power: 0 i used meguiars wax, i applied generously, but only put a little too much in maybe in a couple of spots. besides, it's not like it's hurting the car. u have to wipe it off once it dries anyway.

Rep Power: 398 Next time you wax the car, use only back and forth or side to sside motions. If you do it in a circualr motion you are causing swirl marks to occur.
