I have never heard so much drivle in all my life. The wax you use on a car shares nothing in common with that in a candle. Most of it is based on a tree wax called carabana wax. It provides, when applied correctly, a micron thick coating which hardens to help protect the paint from everything from UV rays to light abrasion. If you went onto detailingworld.co.uk and suggested this you would be laughed out of the door.

Every car i have owned has used a LSP (last stage polish) wax to prolong the finish provided by the polish. My ZS has dimondbrite (a semi permanent polish) which i top up with Dodo juice white candy hard wax.

Oh and as an aside most of the scratches and swirls in the paint is actually caused by grit and debris in your sponge when you was the car. You are far better to use a wash mitt or similar and use a bucket with a grit guard. I challenge anyone to find swirl marks on my ZS.
