waxing a GPW
i have a hard time seeing where i waxed and didnt wax on my gpw. it is a real pain in the ass. am i the only one that has this problem?
anyways, i was wondering if maybe i could add some food coloring or something into the wax so it would be more visible. would that affect the wax job or not? is there any other solution or should i just deal with it?
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

i would not add coloring or you might stain the car.
buff the car twice is one trick that should get all of the wax (i do that anyway- even on black cars!)- some guys wax, buff then detail spray and buff again.

jeez, that would take forever, but i geuss you gotta do what you gotta do.
i can see the wax better at different angles, but it still is kinda hard to tell.
thanks for the advice!

If you have the ability to wax the car in a garage, turn off the lights and let the open door be your only light. In my experience, that's made it easier to make sure I don't miss a spot.
