The first step should always be to give your car a good wash to get rid of contaminants. You dont want to be rubbing wax into dirt as it will scrtach your car.
If you have scrtches you want to remove you may want to consider using a polish after the wash to help remove them.
Once the car is totally clean you can apply your wax. You dont want to have any excess was, make sure it is uniform and a light coat. This makes it easier to remove. If you want a higher shine you can always layer the wax. Remember to only use micro fiber while applying and removing wax. This will help prevent causing any new scrtaches.
Once the wax is done you may want to use a glaze to get the maximum shine. A glaze goes on and off just like wax but helps boost the optical shine.
And while youre at it I would also put a coat on the wheels. Regardless if they are chromed or not a good coat of wax helps keep them looking new.
I finish the cycle off with some tire trim and you are good to go!

I'm pretty sure that a glaze goes on BEFORE a wax.
IIRC glaze is pretty much a "filler" with basically no correction abilities, but simply "hides" minor swirls and imperfections. Then afterwards, a wax such be applied to add protection.
Anyone???
