Best Wax/Sealant For Black Car

[BILL]

why is it better to apply going front to back, then up and down and not in a circular motion?

To reduce swirling..............wax application......

Wont applying front to back and top to bottom cause lines instead of swirls?

Not that im aware of.......

why would a circular motion cause swirls and a top to bottom, front to back not cause anything?

Its about the wind while driving flowing over the hood, roof, and rear lid, less chance of swirls with a straight wax strokes compared to circles all about path of air flow......

So if that is the case why would you go top to bottom on the sides of the car instead of front to back also? Hope Im not asking too many question....

Thanks a good one i may be off base on that one, it may be front to back all over......

KILLRWHEELS will tune in to this one i hope..........

the easiest rule of thumb is to follow the way air flows against and around the car. I wax/seal from front to back on top and sides. Going up and down would give me a hernia. I got a little garden chair on wheels, and I work panel to panel back and forth. The reason, circles and scratches are much more apparent when going diagonally or circular, and nobody can truly control a small piece of sand that might have blown in.

Thanks for the advice
