Talking Ist time waxer, need some advise

Well guys, I cheaped out on my baby(as I've been spending too much on detaling products lately), and decided to buy eagle one wax, as you dry spray. I also bought a turtle wax chamois, from domnicks. Now I plan to spray the stuff on and use the chamois to rub it in when next I'm drying my car. Has anyone had any experience with the eagle one product? How about a turtle wax chamois? Will the chamois leave scratch marks on my TL? Any tips on waxing? I know I should use oval motions.

wash your chamois with warm water and soap for the first time
and it's good if you can wash it everytime you use it and adter you use it

but then if you're human ( ) just don't make it too dirty and hang dry everytime you wipe your car

soak the chamois a bit before you use it though so it can soften up and start absorbing water

don't go in oval or circular motions, because doesn't matter how careful and how clean and soft your towel is, you will create marks, and if you wax in one direction only, the marks will not be as easy to spot as if you wax in a circular motion

goo luck, do a search, lots of threads on this topic

I personally don't like a chamois....and I doubt you would want to use one to take off the spray wax. Just use a terry cloth type towel, made in the USA preferrably, this works the best.
