Then, take your wax bottle and dot the polisher pad with wax at its extremities. Four reasonably small dots should be enough. Then, on a slow speed setting, use the polisher to apply wax across the selected panel.. Again, no need to apply any pressure here either, just guide the polisher across the panel.

Mention it to a group of petrolheads and you’ll receive numerous detailed suggestions and advice. These can frequently be eye-wateringly expensive and therefore, quite off-putting. But don’t worry, we know of effective car wax that doesn’t cost you an arm or a leg. This very much depends on the wax that you’re using. Some waxes will only last for a short period of time such as 6-8 weeks, after this period of time they’ll stop protecting the paintwork and will need to be re-applied. Some waxes such as Soft99 Fusso Coat will last anywhere up to 12 months. That said, even using a wax such as Fusso, we would advise applying a wax a minimum of twice per year. Ceramic wax is the next big thing in car wax. Proper ceramic waxing is best left to the experts thanks to the long curing time required, but it will leave a hard coating that can last for years. There are also hybrid ceramic options that blend synthetic wax with silicon dioxide ceramic to give you similar results that you can do yourself. Available as a paste, spray or liquid it won’t last as long as proper ceramic coating but it's far easier to apply.
