rashad- welcome to the wacko forum!
yes, you can wax them... i use synthetics and even on my glass, lights, emblems, wheels, etc.
just be careful around the edges- you can tape them or just be really careful to keep away from edges. if you get too close to the edges you can end up with wax in the cracks, which doesnt look great.

you are welcome-

no, a wacko ultimate makeover is having to polish with compounds (or wet-sand) and then stepping back down to get the shine back... can take more than a day to do this.

make sure that you have a good body shop- even body shops can swirl new paint!


looking forward to pics of your "swan"- (makeover car)
