They say the condition of your car is a reflection on you. It's also true that the condition of your car's surface can offer a reflection of you. If you wax it regularly, that is. 

1. Non-abrasive car wax, either liquid or paste
2. Car wax sponge
3. Clean, soft towel (microfiber cloth or chamois)
4. Glass cleaner

Wax should not be applied until the car is thoroughly cleaned, dried and cool to the touch.

1. If it is a sunny day, move your car into a shady area. If it is a hot day, skip waxing.
2. Using your sponge in a circular motion, apply the wax to a section of the car.
3. Allow wax to haze, but do not allow it to dry completely. 

• Avoid applying wax to any unglazed surfaces, such as the seals around the doors or the trim around the windows, as it can mar those surfaces.
• Always read the directions on the brand of wax you buy and follow any special manufacturer instructions.

1. With your towel, wipe off the wax.
2. Continue to buff the surface until it gleams. Be sure to regularly rotate the towel, so that you are working with a clean surface at all times.
3. Remove wax from unglazed surfaces. You can try Windex or other window cleaner to get rid of every trace.
