ok, before i do something stupid and mess up my brand new paint job by applying wax incorrectly, wuts the proper way to apply it, i have the mcquires wax that everyone says is good, how often should i apply it on a freshly painted black civic, also can the wax harm the paint ?? also the wax comes with its own pad to rubb the wax on the car, so i plan to use that

How recently was it painted? You'll want to wait 2-3 months after the paint job to let the paint fully cure before you apply any wax...

There are a few DIYs, check them out

Like mlobitz said you should wait 2-3 months to let the paint cure but its good to wax your car atleast once a month and you the spray wax after washes it keeps your paint mint!!
