99.99% of everyday waxers put way too much on, use improper techniques, and wipe off the wax with wrong toweling.

I apply both liquid waxes, sealants, and paste waxes via a finishing pad at speed 3 on a PC. I use WAY less wax, it takes me 10 min to wax a SUV, and removal with a quality MF towel is a breeze. Whenever I show people how I detail customer's vehicles they're always like "that makes so much sense, but no one shows the regular user these easy techniques." It's true, you need to join a detailing site to learn the best washing, claying, polishing, and waxing techniques.

Never rave about anything that you can buy at AutoZone for $5. I think your learned your lesson.

sealant zaino 2 coats of z-5 on day 1 2 coats of z-2 on day 2
then wait 24 hours and put on a coat of pinnacle souveran mmm it looks tasty as hell on a black car. If its a lighter color use a quality sealant like menzerna fmj or einzett. Or actually the klasse aio or their high gloss is awesome.
