Wash your car real good, dry it off...and get you some Meguiar's Cleaner Wax, and apply it using the spong it comes with. Let it set and dry for 5-10 minutes (in the shade) and wipe it off using circular motions with a dry terri cloth towel. That will hook you up.

make sure it is in the shade, I have a friend who waxed his car and let it sit in the sun and he had the chip that crap off with a knife.

Even though the manufacturer states to apply in a swirl motion, that is primarily a function of coverage and not so much the &quot;BEST&quot; method. I've been detailing cars for about 15 years now....and I can tell you that if your not skilled in dealing, then you can get bit by the &quot;SWIRL BUG&quot;..the best washing, polishing, and waxing motion is vertical movements, following the lines of your car. It is much more aggrevating, but helps against the &quot;SWIRL BUG&quot;...Peace!
