This is my go-to wax for 2 of my cars.  In essence, it is &#34;oily&#34; or at least it leaves the car looking wet.  Take note however that on a black car, this wax will actually attract dust.  It does look excellent for a few days but then I notice how the general dust seems to get settled more easily.  I use another Meguiar&#8217;s product for my black car now.  On my red and blue vehicles I stick to this wax.  Elbow grease comments?  Yeah only if you have done NO prep work on the vehicle before application.Couple things to upgrade any good detail job (I&#8217;m referring to the one and two star folks)&#8212;washing, drying, and throwing wax on a car will never bring out a showroom shine unless the car is new.  Washing, drying, and prepping the entire vehicle with a product like Meg&#8217;s fine-cut and in some cases medium cut cleaner is the ticket.  You can take out so so soooo many scratches, swirls, and debris that way.  Stay clear of &#8220;rubbing compound&#8221;&#8212;better yet leave it in the 80&#8217;s.  After you have used fine cut and the car almost looks polished already (remember you need to use a variable speed polisher&#8212;you cannot use this stuff with elbow grease), go over it with your clay bar just to make sure.  The vehicle should be smooth&#8212;no bumps, pits, etc.  If so, start with the fine-cut again and level it out.  Understand the Medium-cut, Fine-cut, and Rubbing Compound are all abrasives.  Think liquid sand paper with Rubbing Compound being the harshest next to actual sand paper.  Finally go ahead and use the wax.  Only apply it to small areas and then wipe right off with a microfiber towel.  I literately give the area 30 seconds to a minute to dry.  DO NOT wait for the wax to dry.  Follow the directions and don&#8217;t apply so much that you can&#8217;t get it off before it dries.Use only microfiber towels&#8212;don&#8217;t fool yourself with anything else.  Never ever ever ever apply wax in the sun.  Do it under cover, in a garage, or in the morning/evening only.  Hot car means hot sticky dry wax---check the metal and see if it&#8217;s too warm.
