Default polish & wax

got a bottle of AG super resin polish

wonderd what the best way to apply was? ive heard of applying with a polish applicator pad, then buffing off with a very soft microfibre?

as for wax, i dont have a clue what to buy? and how to apply

please help (major detailing noob btw)

polish - ye that polish is fine and applying that will will be fine, you might want to get some AG extra gloss protection aswell to apply after

wax - if your desperate for wax now the get down halfords and buy some of the Megs wax the 3rd step in there 3 step range i use that works really well, but if you can wait for delivery look into getting some dod juice from cleanyourcar.com

I just use a good coat of Turtle Nano Tech Wax (Green Tub) Its REALLY good and considering i've not washed the car for over 2 weeks and not waxed it in a month, its so shiney and still beads.

I just appply it with a old CLEAN COTTON top, like a polo top or soemthing. I let it dry to a haze (like T-Cut) then i buff lightly in a circleuar motion with another buffing rag.

Color of car can affect what wax you use
if dark color then you wont go far wrong with poorboys natty blue carnuba wax

bilt hamber wax gets good results aswell

cellulose applicators by meguirs are good.

Apply and buff in straight lines.this helps avoid circular swirl marks.

Terry towling clothes work better for me at buffing off.
