Its not that I'm lazy (well, yes, I am) or impatient (ditto), but here's my situation. My truck at work is in pretty sad shape. It's been passed around for the last 16 years, and the paint on the cab (well, the whole thing really) is really oxidized, and I wanted to shine her up a bit.
The nature of my job, however, is unpredictable. Some parts of the day, I'm running as fast as I can, but at the end, sometimes I sit for an hour or so, sometimes I get sent home right away. So what I want to do is wax this truck in small sections, but I have to be able to take it off at a moment's notice.
What should I use? It has to be hand wax, no machine. And cheap, since it's out of my pocket. Thank you in advance.

| I prefer to remove wax before it gets a chance to harden. There's no need for it anyway.
Why not use something off the shelf at Schucks or Walmart? While they may not pass any concours scrutiny - they get the job done. | |

| Meguiars paste wax is what I use. I'll do 2 fender size areas at once and by the time I'm done coating the second one, the first one has dried. It's about $10-12/can.
If you really want to make a difference, clay bar it and then use some polishing compound. |
