I made the same mistake but luckily I came here and read the post on how useless it was before haivng them apply it. When to the dealer the next day and got my money back.

Of course I had to endure a whole sales pitch all over again before she would refund my money...

That is cold how if you do not bring it back in 6 months they will discontinue the warranty. That is exactly what they said to me you need to bring it back but i didnt realize i had to pay for it they made it sound like i never had to pay for touch ups again!

I will wax the car myself seems like fun especially if you know your the one doing it you feel safer.

Ok now I need to know the tools I need.

The wax and wash
The applicator
the towels what do you guys use please?

thanks again.

this board is great.
Kar Don actually did a very good job here to teach you step by step how to detail your car. To get the products that you need, you can try autopia.com (for things like Klasse All-In-One or P21S Wax) or Zaino's website (for Zaino products).
