    So yesterday my neighbor was out waxing her Sequoia and it looks like she was simply just placing the wax on a pad and applying it to the vehicle. (She wasn't scrubbing it in- if that makes sense) and then grabbed a towel and went over it wiping it off. What wax did she use? Seems like a simple method.

    So if your were to apply it. I recommend doing a full detail(compound/polish/gloss not really necessary but definitely have best end result imo) which consist of 2 bucket wash, clay, sealant, wax (just to help prolong sealant/ and promote wax.

    Doing this with parking in the garage 5-6 months with proper maintanence. After you apply you can wash and just maintain with the spray waxes instead of cream just to keep the "pop" and luster.
    Parking outside about 3 months.. depending on weather and conditions..

    Cream wax is really easy.. to make it even faster and save product I recommend applying with a dual action polisher. Save time is key w/ our big ass trucks
