I too winced when I saw the shammy word come out.

@Bedwelljp nothing wrong exactly with using a shammy, but it's an outdated drying method and is far less effective than a nice plush microfibre towel. Yes, you'll get the car dry and it will look shiny after a rinse and shammy dry down, but as Hinch says - that is a good way to scratch the paintwork, minor scratches for sure, but it'll build up over time.

In answer to your question - the wax won't harm the car, but the wash method & preparation is key. If you don't already, you should really be clay barring the car before you lay any protection down, otherwise that's another way minor scratches get introduced.
Point taken, After some research I have purchased the Clay Bar and some good qaulity microfibre cloths. will use this method in the future. Thanks for the tips

Good to hear! You'll enjoy the clay bar, makes a huge difference and really does make the wax more effective

The dealer applied Diamondbrite to my car & after 30 months its still effective. You do need to use their shampoo & conserver every other wash. Dealer was overpriced & dropped it to match another supplier.

Wax shampoo and sealant would work the same.

Yes I forgot about the conserver; I am using now. The car looks great and the water runs off nicely.
