Default wash and wax

so i started washing my car today around 12:30 and just now finished at around 6:30, my back and arms are kind of sore. i used mcguires 3 step wax deal that consist of 1. paint cleaner, 2. piant polish, and then 3. the wax, is very good stuff, would highly recomend it. the car is spotless and gave the paint its shine back and took out some scuffs. im happy with it. just thought i would recomend it if anyone was looking for a good wax to use.

I've used their three step process in the past with very good results as well.

I wish it wasn't -12* and not a blizzard here so I could wash my car.
