make sure your motor is nice and clean and that all tar spots and other shitty bits have been removed. (I use a dodo juice pre wax cleanser before applying wax just to make sure)
Then get a foam applicator and apply in swirls a few panels at a time.
Wait about 5 mins for each panel then buff off with a microfibre cloth or terry towel. When the whole car is done you can go tound with a soft mitt and buff the whole lot.
Voila!! A beautiful looking car. post up some pics of before and after.

should clay the car and polish it before waxing too
i also apply a sealent before wax
If you can afford to waste wax then do it by hand, warm the wax up in your fingers then rub onto car
if not then just use an applicator, german one or microfibre one works well
