if it's just wax your apply then just apply it gently as wax has no cutting properties and doesn't need to be worked in. Just spread a nice even thin layer either by hand, sponge or foam applicator,in straight lines, leave for about 5-10 minutes then buff off and allow the wax to cure (curing time for a good quality carnauba wax can be anything up to 12 hours)
