    Stop waxing your car and go masturbate.

      No, not if you are applying it properly.

        just be careful doing a dukes of hazzard across the hood if you wax throughly. You'll go flying.

              nothing bad horrible advice here.

              I say, just keeping waxing, probably use up 5 bottles of Meguires wax, and let us know how it goes.

                Use brake cleaner first to clean off all of the old wax and then apply 3-4 coats of wax. The best is to do it in the sun so you can really work it in and see your progress.

                  ohh, and if it starts to, like cloud, or something, it is just a sign of impending rain. So put your final coat on, and then just leave it til after the rain, cuz it makes the wax take a good set. And don't forget to change the air in your tires. Stale air causes oxidation from the inside of the wheel, eventually leading to costly repairs (Car Tech. 101) ;)

                      you can't really wax too much, but you should still strip your car once a year. otherwise you're just polishing dirty old wax... dish soap does the trick, so it's not terribly tough.

                      and yeah, don't use dishsoap to wash your car either, not unless you don't want any paint protection. :P

                        I saw this Jaguar E-Type at a car show once and the owner put 32 layers of wax on it, but he wouldn't let anyone touch his car.

                          Brake cleaner? I heard it was best to wipe it down with a rag soaked in DOT3 Brake FLUID. That is good for the paint, right? :D

                            a good caustic degreaser works good too.. or if you want to get it to really come out wipe it down with wheel acid, cut it, then apply some wax
