Anyone got some tips on what I should use? Possibly anything I should know about before attempting to put it on? I've never done it before any help will be appreciated.
NEVER wash your car in direct sunshine...always use a car-wash liquid specifically for cars(not dishwashing liquid, etc)
The hood takes the greatest heat load, so do it at least 3-4 times every time you wax the car.
Zymol is fantastic wax for a quality German paint, so it's worth the $$$, and always use a 100% cotton or microfiber cloths for applying and removing wax. Use distilled water as well.
Make sure the cars paint is cool when applying the wax, and with Zymol, you'l rinse the car down AFTER you wax it, to make the was "set" properly.
