take a rough rag and wipe the car down first rub it in good to get any dirt off. then take sand paper. and rub down any rough spots. then put ice on your car all over. let it soak for an hour then take paper towels and wax and go at it.

No need to be an *** about it. Can't you see he is a new member? Maybe he doesn't know about the search feature yet.

To the OP, the above posted thread should help and there is also a guy from a sponsor Tropicare on here that can help you out.

BTW, the search feature is near the top in the red bar.

You know what's interesting? I've actually had a guy tell me to soak rags in ice water and lay them all over the car when the wax is drying. He claimed it did something to make the wax extra glossy.

I claimed it made him extra crazy.
