I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Damn, that must have taken forever to wax the whole car. When I did mine back in the summer my arm was ready to fall off after I was done.

Putting a coat of wax on a car should take no more than 15 mins. I am gonna write an article up on how to do this properly. Keep posted...

yeah it didnt take too much.. especially with that wax thats just a liquid..

you put on.. then take off... if you leave it for too long then it gets harder to take off.. and MAKE SURE you dont do it in sun.. it gets dry and is a bitch

Waxes and sealants should be put on in VERY THIN COATS. Anything you remove with your buffing cloth, is wasted product.

Some products allow you to use them in the sun, but very few. Check the label for instructions before using.

Check here: http://www.thejdm.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1375 for a good read on waxing.
