Don't know what your car has been treated with, but I've just ordered some 'Harley Wax' and these are the instructions he has sent with it
Many thanks for your payment. Your Harly Wax will be sent out by first class post today.
To apply the wax, simply rub the applicator pad into the tin and caress it into the paintwork. Once the pad becomes saturated with the carnauba wax, it glides over the paint like butter.
The best way is to wax the entire car, wait for 30 mins for the wax to harden, and then buff off.
I suggest you also wax your headlights and rear lights because Harly Wax has a very strong natural sun screen and will help to prevent them fading/oxidizing. If you wax the front number plate you will find next time you wash the car the bugs will wash off much easier due to the layer of carnauba wax - no shampoo is needed with a good coat of Harly Wax.
I strongly recommend quality microfibre cloths (avoid the cheap ones) for buffing off. Do not use stockinette.
I find the most effective way to buff the wax off is to hold a microfibre cloth in each hand and work your way around the car to remove the bulk of the wax; these cloths will then be clogged in wax. Then get two more clean microfibre cloths and repeat the process until all the wax is buffed off.
Once your vehicle has a good coat of Harly Wax you will find it's very easy to clean from then on. You will not need any shampoo or warm/hot water, just a wash mitt or sponge and cold water; you will be amazed how easily the dirt comes off. I always wax the wheels for the same reason and never need to use acidic wheels cleaners. The Harly Wax protection lasts longer if you avoid warm/hot water and shampoo. If you do want to use shampoo, try not to make the concentration too strong.
Enjoy your waxing!
