When you guys wax your cars, how long do you leave it on your paint before you go back over it to remove it? I usually do one panel at a time. So for an example, I’ll wax the hood and drivers side fender, remove the wax on the hood, then wax the drivers door, then remove the wax on the fender, then wax the rear panel, remove the wax on the door, and so on. I keep going back and forth like that. At the most, the wax is on the car for about 5 minutes before its wiped clean. I have 2 orbital polishers. One for applying wax and one to remove, so I don’t have to worry about removing pads and wasting time.
