Over Waxing
just remember everytime your waxing, is your car dirt free? every time you wax, there is a minor risk of creating MORE swirls. so yes in an extreme case you can actually be creating light scratches because of your over-zeolousness. microfiber is very easy on your paint but even they arent perfect.
also you cannot just keep throwing on wax and hope your layering. certain products are designed to layer well (like zaino) although something off the shelf like standard green turtle wax will definetly NOT layer. so not only can overwaxing increase the possibility of creating swirl marks, you're also probably waisting time and money on materials.
so in conclusion if you want to be super ****, be super **** the RIGHT way.....

Post should be in show and shine.... There I'm done playing moderator...
Ask Mitchubishi.... (probably misspelled that I apologize in advance).... he's pretty much the authority on detailing Evos.
I'm actually in Central Valley, CA right now, and I know what bcampbell782 is talking about. When I'm back in the Bay Area I can pull up all the products I use, haven't had any problems with them whatsoever.
mifesto's right, you shouldn't do damage if you are waxing correctly, you can damage your paint if you don't clean your car properly before hand or if you use a bad combination of products, but for the most part you should be fine and wont end up with swirls.

To the OP, make sure you are using a reputable brand of wax and you should be fine. If you are doing it by hand everything should be ok. If you are using an orbital buffer to apply it stay away from the rubber pieces, and if you use a high speed buffer dont use the buffer EVERY time because the clear coat can only take so much of it and for some people its hard to learn the proper presurres that you are supposd to use so that you dont ruin the finish. Besides that you should be fine.
BTW some totally kick a@$ products to use are by Ardex. Its a professional detailing product company that makes ANYTHING that Mother's and Meguire's puts on the market look like crap. They are based out of Philly

My favorite is Pinnacle Souveran carnauba wax. You can buy it online for around $25 a bottle. Once you use it you will know what the money was spent on. It is easy to use just apply it really thin after a good polish.



good luck to you kid!
