What is the method for using polishing wax?

Polishing wax is primarily used as follows: 1. Gently press the polishing wax against the edge of the wheel, ensuring it is below the horizontal plane of the rotating axis until the surface is fully covered with wax. 2. Hold the wax against the wheel edge for a few seconds to allow it to adhere to the wheel. Firmly grip the workpiece and lightly press it against the wheel surface, ensuring the workpiece remains below the horizontal plane of the wheel's central axis to prevent it from being thrown off by the wheel. 3. Use a clean metal piece to lightly press against the wheel surface for two seconds to spread the wax. 4. Repeat the process several times to ensure the wax evenly covers the surface. Once the surface is fully coated with wax, the polishing process can begin.
I used to polish my car with wax regularly, feeling like giving it a spa treatment. The steps are actually quite simple: first, thoroughly wash the car with a dedicated car shampoo to remove stains, making sure not to miss any dust in the corners. Then, take a clean sponge or microfiber cloth and apply an appropriate amount of polishing wax—don't spread it too thick. Gently apply the wax in small circular motions on a small section of the car's surface at a time; covering too large an area at once can make it difficult to remove the wax once it dries. Using a polishing machine manually is safer—apply even pressure while moving in circular motions until the wax turns milky white, then stop. Finally, wipe off any remaining wax with a clean, soft cloth and check for shine and smoothness. The entire process should be done in the shade to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the wax to dry too quickly. Doing this periodically helps restore the car's shine and protects against scratches. The results are surprisingly good—the paint becomes glossy, and friends often compliment me on how well I maintain my car.
