Default Waxing in general.

Well Since its getting around to that time of year. Just a couple of questions.

I understand waxing the car but how does that apply to our bumpers?
Use the same method?
Do they take to wax like the hood? or doors?
I have thought about doing a hand wax and do it a few times in one day. Since I dont have the proper supplies to buff and ect.. because I live in an Apartment.

So I figured giving a liquid hand wax (Turtle Wax, Meguiars )a try first before I dig in the pockets.

It's all just paint... if you're looking for some quick resluts and don't have lots of time just get Meguiar's cleaner wax and use a applicator pad, then buff clean w/ some microfiber towels.

Im guessing I will pick up some Meguiars and give it a quick polish this Sat to see how it turns out.
