Default How often can you apply wax?

I recently waxed the car with Meguiar's Gold Class paste. The car looks great, but unfortunately there are swirl marks because I waxed the car in a circular motion. I'm thinking of using some swirl mark remover, and then rewaxing w/gold class liquid wax in a NON-circular motion! Am I good to go? or do you have to wait a certain amount of time before waxing again?

Most products with polymers tell you how long to let the wax sit on the car or how long after you remove it to let it cure before adding another coat. I don't recall Gold Class saying anything on the label about this so you are probably good to go. I also don't know if Gold Class has any fillers in it to improve your swirl marks, so additional coats may do little or nothing to improve things. Products with fillers often take many coats to notice a difference. You may just want to do one-half of the hood many times to see if it makes a difference.

Which swirl mark remover would you recommend? The car isn't covered with swirl marks, but if you look at the right angle you can see a few here and there.

3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009, your first question is kind of a moot point anyway as when you use the abrasive swirl mark remover it will totally remove the Gold Class from the paint anyway making you have re wax with Gold Class when done. Gold Class is a cleaner wax also, it will only be able to add one coat, each successive coats of Gold Class will remove the prior.
