On both the cars we used a meguiars wheels cleaner, washed it off. The applied paint cleaner and the polished them with wet look polish. Before they kept getting stains all over them for some reason....no they came up brilliant!

Hey shane, Putting it on and wiping it off is easy as. I didnt buff my car at all. I just used the pad they gave me to apply it on and then used the microfibre cloth to wipe it off

The polish is harder to get on & off then the wax. The wax makes such a difference, feels so much nicer and last's forever. My car has been in the rain and through dirt since those photo's and yet the dirt just wipes off and the car still feels smooth!
