1) Before you do anything with wax you have to ensure your car has been thoroughly cleaned and dried if you want the best results.

2) Apply the wax to the paint of your car, if the surface is quite hot you may be best applying it direct onto the buffer pad.

3) It makes it easier if you split each area up and focus on waxing that before moving on, using a buffer you should rub the wax in evenly. Never hold the buffer still on the paintwork as it could burn or mark it.

4) After each section is complete I would advise you to rub off the wax, leaving it on too long (especially in heat) will allow it to set onto the car. This will make it much harder when it comes to rubbing it off.

5) If possible, use a microfiber cloth to remove the wax opposed to a normal towel. It will make it easier to remove the wax and the end result will look much better.

6) For smaller areas such as mirrors, lights and section on the bodywork you should apply the wax with a wax pad instead of the buffer. Not only will it make it easier to do but you will not risk scratching or damaging anything.

7) After that it’s just a case of going round the car getting the desired result.
