WTF MAN! ok. They key to any waxing is PREP, just like painting. More than likely your paint is swirled, and marred. The BEST thing would be do buff it out. If you dont have acces to a buffer, I might look into finding a pro to fix the paint. If you would like to do it yourself, you need to invest in some microfiber cloths. If you do the car yourself, i'd start out with a quality wash (a good one is Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo). Wash the car REALLY good, then dry with a microfiber cloth. Then, buy a claybar kit, such as mothers or claymagic. Read the directions on the back of the box, and clay the whole car. Next if your doing this by hand, your going to need to use some kind of abrasive scratch and swirl remover. 3M rubbing compound works good, but is strong, and you ahve to be careful even when using it by hand. It can work wonders, if you use it right. The directions should help you out. Also Meguiar's Scratch X is a good abrasive scratch and swirl remover. Anytime you remove scratches by hand its going to take forever, because you have to "buff" the product outta the paint before you cfan move on. OK, so you got the scrathes taken care of, now you need to "cleanse the paint" A good chemical paint cleaner such as Meguiar's COlor X is a good one, a coulpe coats of this and it'll look sharp. Next i'd apply a coat of Meg's NXT wax, then a coat of Meg's #26. You can apply multiple coats of #26, just wait 24 hours between coats.
All in all, its going to be a big job, you'll need microfibers, and some products to get yoruself started. Its a good investment to get some stuff to keep your car looking clean. As you can see i've spend lots of money on detailing stuff, and reading on autotopia.org, and detailcity.com. They're both great sites and you can learn a LOT about how to keep a car looking A+. Hope this helped.
I am a CK and Klasse twins type of guy. I dont use toppers but Natty's would probably be my choice.
