Waxing virgin-Advice

[CHRIS172CUP]

As Ive got to wait in for british gas this afternoon I thought Id wax my cup! Havent done it once since I got it so thought Id treat her.

Im a complete novice when it comes to this, got some wax but what cloths are the best? Im not going crazy and spending loads, just wondered what I can pick up?

Cheers

Foam applicator pad to apply it and then take it off with a microfibre cloth. Dont apply too much though is the cloth is getting loaded up heavily when you wipe it off youve used too much.

tbh though if its never been cleaned properly id get and clay the whole car then polish it before putting the wax on or youll just be sealing sh*t ontop of the paintwork.

Is all this readily availble from say halfords etc?

Clay, whats this, hows it applied/used?

If you wax the car without removing the contaminants, you will only seal in the dirt ubder the wax. Read this,

Foam pads and clay you can get from halfords (meguires stuff) and the microfibre cloth they might well have but failing that you can get them online easy enough.

Clay basically drags all the sh*te off the paint and cleans the surface more effectively after washing leaving a nice clean surface to polish then wax onto.

It was just spur of the moment thing as Ive got the day so online ordering wouldnt help...might just end up watching the cricket all day...heaven

Wax advice? Cut the hair to about 5-10mm before starting.
