(humpleg) Looks incredible! I give you a lot of credit because the idea of keeping that much white paint looking that good makes baby jesus cry.
I thought we are supposed to use our fingers to apply the wax. This way we can feel presence of the minute amount of grit/sand that might be rubbing the sub's clear coat? My friend's cx-7 already had lots of 'swirl marks' on them. They used cloth in applying the wax. using motorized wax applicator will be scary. I think. .

That said, you do want to hand wax around the edges of the painted surfaces to avoid getting wax on rubber and pebbled plastic body trim pieces that will turn white when the wax dries .
clay bar = greatness
i used a maguiars and it worked great. i usually follow that up with their nXt wax. works like a charm
Ok I used the clay bar for the first time.. Just to let you know that I'm now a convert. My idea of a properly waxed car has been elevated to a new level. Its not enough that it looks shiny and clean. It has to be smooth or slick to the touch without any sign of 'grit' whatsoever.
Next question, how to you guys remove those dust that cling to the waxed surface after a short trip?
looks like i need to get me an orbital
