" Hello my name is Jose Zuniga I'm representing expertvillage.com. I'm going to guide you step by step on how to wax your car. Well of course we need wax. We need one rag, an old rag; these are for waxing smoothly. We also need one so we can shine it at the end of the project. So lets tackle this car. One thing there is a few tips that I would like to share with you today number one when you do apply the wax. Apply it in circular motion. I'm going to show you how we do that. Also when you come to areas like here that would have plastic don't touch the plastic because it is going to ruin the plastic. It is going to make it lighter instead of darker so stay away. Any thing that is plastic in the car we don't want to touch with wax. Okay. Another thing today wow it is a beautiful day in the event that it is a hotter day park your car underneath the tree by the shade because what happens wax for some given reason if it is to hot the car would start cracking the paint we don't want to damage the paint we are here to beautified the car so lets start waxing the car. In circular motion go around it is going to start drying immediately. Remember to stay away from the areas that contain any plastic we don't want to damage that. Just go around. We add a little bit more wax and in circular motion. Stay way from any plastic area we don't want to damage that be careful. Just enjoy it and enjoy the day. Ya this is fantastic it is going to be like new car. Here we go. I enjoying detailing my car you know my favorite part is when I have to wax it and polish the car you know I'm proud of my vehicle. Wow. Wow. We are done with this part we have applied all the wax that is necessary for the car and as you can see look at that it is dry. That is how we want it to be. Lets place this down on the floor. There we go. Now we need to do polish it make it look like new. Just circular motions. Get every single. Look at that that is beautiful that is bringing the new color. Actually that is the original color of the paint it is just beautiful. Just go to the side and there we go apply pressure. This is great. Wow. Look at this. We have come to the end of this side of this car it is just fantastic look at the color this is what we wanted it is just like brand new.

on 8/2/2008 Wax doesn't remove swirls, it only protects the paint and shines. Polishes remove swirls but don't protect the paint, so you always need to wax after polish. He really doesn't have a clue,.. i think he may have learned this from some little kid or something. CLUELESS. this guy is horrible. I am a professional detailer, trust me, this guy has no clue! Dont listen to him lest you be a hack like him. Besides He has to be a closet gay man. One more thing, he'd make a horrible salesman.
