Finally leave the wax around 10-15 mins till it drys and do the swipe test (take one finger and swipe the paint, if its clear then the wax is ready to be removed, if its hazy then leave longer. i would do around 2 coats of wax. and even better would be to buy a sealant such as Chemguys Jetseal 109 or nanolex then put wax over. the seals usually last 6 months where as wax is 1 month.

Goodluck
Should I apply the sealant before waxing or after waxing? BTW the car is already washed and the shine on the car is still pretty good. Think its just the quality of the BMW paint and clearcoats.
