So I’ve got a show this weekend and it'll be the first time I’ve had to really detail my car. I've got a variable speed orbital buffer and Meguir's "Cleaner Wax". I plan to hand apply the wax and let it set for 45-60 minutes before I use the buffer and a cotton terry cloth pad to remove the wax. Then I plan on buffing it even more with a 100% wool pad. The owner before me used Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax but told me if I waited a while (over a month, this guy waxed it every weekend ) to wax it, to use the "cleaner wax" instead of the NXT wax. My questions are:
Is this the best way to go about waxing my car? If not, what do you think I should do differently to get the best look, while not damaging my cars paint?
What speed should the buffer be at during each phase of the wax job? The buffer speed ranges from like 300-3300 rpm.
How should I address the tiny chips in my hood? I'll put it this way, when I bought the car, it didn't look like it had ANY tiny chips in the hood, yet now after it hasn't been waxed for a while, I can notice them (I wash my car twice a week).
Thanks in advance!
