nice job on the wax. i know exactly what you mean when you say you put 3 hours on it. i waxed my car this friday. put in almost 2 hours. i used to have turtle "solid" wax, but then i bought a buffer which uses liquid wax. it was worth it. the buffer helped me get it on but i still had to use a piece of cloth to get it shine in. part of the problem is that i live in las vegas and by the evening, there was a thin layer of dirt on it and by today, there is more. i sometimes wonder, wtf. what is the point in putting in so much effort. you know? anyways, good job.
