NEVER use the wax-on-wax-off Kirate kid sh!t.

Straight lines to wax on/off, unless you want swirls..

pointless thread.

I disagree. Some people are not as well versed in detailing as others.
And yes, I concur with the above posters; front to back for panels on a horizontal plane such as hood and trunk, and a top to bottom motion for panels on a vertical plane.
