Good to hear. Do I apply like I do that crappy turtle wax paste? Just put some on the pad and buff it onto the car in a circular motion? Then just use terry towels to buff off? How long do I need to have it sit on the car and harden?

yeah...just squirt a little on the pad and rub it on in a circular motion. you dont have to use much pressure at all. the pad will soak up alot of wax to begin with, but then it will spread alot easier. if i remember correctly, you just let it sit for about 30 mins and you can pull it off with the terry towel. if you have a microfiber towel, then i would go back and do a final buff with that because there might still be a little residue on the finish.

Thanks ryan. I'll start off with a wash, then some touchup. After letting it dry for an hour or two I'll go ahead and clay then put on the wax. Should be fun.

The car needs a lot of help because of scratches. I've been searching for a pro who I can trust to do this and I think I may have finally found one. So I'll get that scheduled for a month or so after I clay and wax the car. By then the wax should be starting to wear off.

In the future I'm going to get the PC tool and do everything myself. But it's pretty ugly right now - so I'd rather have a pro do it the first time and get the lion's share of the scratches out of my car.
