- After that, it is recommended to use a glass cleaner to finish removing any remaining dirt or dust, and help yourself with a microfiber cloth.
- Now find the wax, and start applying it as if you were removing a coating with wax.
- Starting at the top of the glass, make small circular motions to add it over the entire surface until you’re done.
- After you have spread it over the entire surface, wait for it to dry a bit and you will see how it becomes opaque. Drying time will depend on what kind of wax you have, you’ll see in the instructions, it can last anywhere from minutes to half an hour.
