well if thats all ya do you see why it doesnt last as long a good hand wax job lasts much longer than a little car wash/wax combo and rinse. i need to wax my truck but waxing it will take at least 2hours. i havent done it yet but i want to before winter really hits.

wash and claybar the car.

Then you need to clean the paint with something like meguiars scratch and swirl remover.

Then polish with something like meguirs step #2 polish.

Then use the ice paste wax. Let it dry 3 to 5 minutes.

Then when wiping it off use a detail spray to help wipe the wax off and create a nice shine.

Did this on my civic all swirl marks are gone.
