Hi, my name is Diesel and I'm the owner and operator 4U2Cdetailing.com. Now I'm going to show you how to wax a car. What I like to use, I like to use a liquid wax. Some people like paste; I like to use a liquid. It's really pretty much your preference. What I will suggest doing; once again, not doing it in the sun. But for the sake of this video, we're just going to do a small portion. Actually, if you look at this part of the car of that I'm going to wax is in, is in the shaded area anyway; so it's not going to do any harm to it. First thing you want to do is you want to use a good quality wax. I prefer; I actually prefer using Meguiars to wax; I like to use 3M products to polish. What you want to do is you want to shake your bottle really well. You want to take a damp wax pad; put a liberal amount on the pad and actually some people like to go on a circular motion; I actually like to go with the grain of the car. The only reason why is because going in a circular motion to me seems like you will swirl the car; maybe it doesn't, but I just enjoy doing it this way. Plus it seems I could go as faster 'cause you can carry, you can actually cover a larger surface area. You wax the car; I usually do a panel at a time. You wait, wait for it to haze up 'till it turns white. Then you take a micro fiber towel and you wipe it off. Once again, my name is Diesel, 4U2C Mobile Auto Detailing; the best in Atlanta. We come to you. This is how you detail a car in the hot, hot, hot sun here in Atlanta. Peace!
