Don't worry about anything you see here. Experiments are purposefully informal and POV. I need to do this in order to relax my mind so that the words just come out. Rest assured that I will polish them to an acceptable point before implementing them.

[edit] Proper waxing procedures
Wax acts as a sacrificial barrier so that the paint doesn't have to. Washing a vehicle without waxing it afterwards is self defeating. An unwaxed vehicle is harder to clean and will accumulate scratches more easily. Waxing a vehicle does require extra effort but the pay-off is worth it.
If a vehicle has been without a waxing for a number of years the vehicle will require a polishing. Over time a vehicle will be exposed to rain, wind, dirt, and smog all of which oxidize the paint. Polish is mildly abrasize in order to remove the oxidation. After the vehicle has been polished then further and regular applications of wax will help to prevent oxidation.
Make sure the vehicle's surface is completely clean and dry before beginning.
Equipment
- Polish - if the vehicle has spent a long time without being waxed.
- Wax
- Terry cloth or micorfiber applicators
Take an applicator and apply some wax to it. Apply the applicator to the surface of the car and rub from side to side until you have covered a single panel with an approximately equal amount of wax. Small circular movements should not be used in order to prevent fine circular scratches.
