 Could someone PLEASE give me step by step instructions on how to wax car? Iam scared. I have never waxed anything, and have never seen anyone wax anything. I HAVE heard horror stories about how wax can dry and you can scratch your car all over etc etc... This scares me! I want to wax my car! I have 2 applicator pads and a bottle of Zymol wax... What should I do? Step by step so I dont scratch my car? Do you have to change applicator pads every few minutes so the wax doesnt try? How big of an area do you have to wax every time? How much wax do you put on? Do you only put on 1 layer of wax? How do you know that the wax is dry? As you can see, I am a major pussy, and I'm really scared to fuck up my car  Any help from experienced waxers would be greatly appreciated!      |

| DON'T WAX IT! Zaino it! www.zainobros.com Zaino Bros is the absolute best system out there without a doubt. There is no wax involved, but a polish that adheres to the paint lasting longer than wax w/ a better shine. This is what you wanna do... |

ie It last longer but doesn't have the same depth of shine as Carnauba waxes. As a rule of thumb depth of shine & longevity is @ opposite end of the spectrum. Plus German paints hate polymer based paint cause they cause hazing & clouding. The that's why BMW & Porsche recommend P21s which is Carnauba not polymer based.
