Educate me on Waxing my car

[shevin]

First of all: I know nothing about wax.

Secondly: 2 weeks ago I waxed my car using this thing Costco guy was advertising called ibiz wax, (the whole kit was like $60)
I put the wax on the made the car so shiny and good looking. he said the wax is good for 6 months and also he said it will prevent the water spots and water will just slide on it.


After 2 weeks, I think the car is not as shiny, and the water does stick to the car (wont slide as advertised) what is the right thing to do for me ? Wax it again ? or wash my car with high pressure water and no need to wax again ? if I wash my car with soap and use microfiber towles, will the wax be cleaned out ?

how does wax work, and how often do you put wax on ? and what different types of it ?
can someone educate me ? what tools do I need to do a good tool, I saw an electric buffer on ebay I ordered that. what else do I need ?
