Nice job. Did you put down a polish before waxing it, and which wax did you use?

Try out Meguiars' NXT TechWax next time, in either paste of liquid (liquid works best imho). Works wonders even on dark cars.

Looks good!
Question: Did you have to apply the wax doing the circle motion when applying?
Meguiars wax can be applied doing a back and forth application, which I find much easier.

Alexus' general rule of thumb, when applying by hand:
Liquid = circular motion.
Paste = up and down motion.

Although Meguiars' will always reccommend a circular motion to apply the wax.

I generally apply a paste wax using my bare hands. The heat generated by your hands activates the wax and makes it more spreadable. Using your hands and fingers also allows you to be more precise.

Nice, but if you put the effort to clay, you might as well have done a polish right after.
