If an applicator is not provided, use a slightly damp terry cloth rag for applying wax or polish. This helps you apply as thin a layer as possible, which minimizes waste, promotes even drying and makes the wax or polish much easier to remove. Remove the wax or polish with a soft, dry towel. Shake out the towel frequently to shed the dried wax. When removing wax or polish, remember that using more speed is better than applying more pressure.
Excessive pressure can cause unnecessary abrasion and scratches in the paint.
Use a soft toothbrush to remove dried wax around badges, lettering, trim, etc. If you get wax in areas that can't be reached with a towel, spray on a good cleanser and remove the wax with an old soft toothbrush. Buff out any streaks from the just-waxed surface. If you choose to use an electric buffer to apply wax or polish, avoid the professional type with 2 handles at 90-degree angles. These spin at 2600 RPM or more and can burn right through your paint if you're not extra careful.
