This will give the car a nice polish and take off any wax left over. then I get a q tip and take the wax out of the small areas (emblems weather stripping etc. anywhere where the wax got into...

RE: correct way to wax
Rejex is the best stuff ive ever used. You strip the wax off and you just wipe it on and wipe it off. I can go almost a month in the summer without washing and just running a California Duster over my car.
