give everything a good clean down
make sure its as dry as possible
if your applying with a brush WEAR GLOVES!
its a right pain to get off your skin

Also , sometimes the Waxoyl can be a bit thick. just leave it in a basin of hot water to thin it out.....make sure you take the lid off the first, otherwise it will make it's own way off...at speed.

Maybe put down plastic under the car to catch drips?
