WHen i washed the car, I didn't really see any water beading- even though I waxed it like 4 weeks ago. It probably had so much oxidation that it wouldn't absorb the wax? So I just said screw it. I used a clean maguire's application wax pad and put turtle wax "polish" on by hand, then buffed it evenly with a 20 dollar 10'' buffer I got from wal mart, and since it looked like it was going to rain in the next hour, which it did!

made my car look like shit) i didn't bother switching out the buffing pads so I had a friend wipe the car down with a clean terry clotch towel that came in the mother's clay bar kit in straight lines, not circles. If a 20-year-old that-knows-nothing-about paint and cars can do it, you can do it too. You just have to be patient, and not have man hands. (hurt cats on accident when you pick them up)
If you really wanna do your car good, you can use paint cleaner, then a polish. It all depends on how bad your paint is to begin with. I'd rather be lazy. My car needed more than a hand wax, so I went back a step.
Where I pulled off the DODGE and SRT-4 emblems off the trunk, you can still see it. Its like an orange- I'm thinking about buying new emblems and getting a caliber one for the right side.
I was so suprised about how dirty the thing got after I was done.
