Yep, but there isn't much need to dry between washing and waxing. Just rinse.

That way, you have more lubrication on the panels, since you are new to all this

Ha, lazy git! It is well worth it for other products, but depends on how you see it, your budget and how far down the slippery slope of detailing you want to go!

well i just want to give it some protection over winter, then leave it till spring, but over that time i am going to buy different products here and there so it wont be a big expense at once, then give it a good go in spring
