wuts your wax style

the palm is shitty..get a 8 inch at least....there is a turtle wax one that is goo the palm one is pretty slow and kinda weak on battery life...does a coat then dies...plug in power will always win.

and dont go too big think of the curves of your car...my dodge take me liek 10 minutes to do but my toyota takes an hour

but a waxers best friend is defintay spray shine wax for keeping the shine..i use meguires fine detailer or mothers spray polis...

fast and effective

I just did mine the other day for the first time. I put it on by hand, and buffed it off with the machine. i've got a 10" random orbit by WEN I think it's called. We've had this thing forever and it's barely been used. Can you say FREEBIE? I did the mothers 3 step wax. it made a pretty big difference on my paint. My car is black, the body is going to ****, and the paint was dull as hell. Now when I look a the hood it covered most of the scratches and fading paint that was there.

Is it cool to do just one coat of the carnuba wax, or are you supposed to put on more?

Do it by hand!

Builds muscle! Supposedly builds character too!

That's what I'm gonna be doing for the rest of the day today!
