I used the Mequiar's NXT Tech Wax for the first time two weeks ago. Love it! Real easy going on and very easy taking off. There's actually no rubbing off the wax like all paste wax. Shine! Shine! Shine!

clay the surface first. i clayed mine and it made it feel brand new. then i used meguiars polish and some paste wax. i find paste wax goes on thinner, which is better. i then put a second coat of paste wax on and leave it for an hour or two before i take it off. good luck.

if you get a variable speed buffer you can save yourself alot of time and not wet sand it unless you got a couple scratches that are too deep for a cut to get it out and not too deep that its in the paint.

when you use the buffer be sure to keep moving or you will burn the paint. the compund you are using might dry out fast. just keep an eye on it and remember to put it on with the buffer and take it off with the buffer.
