Do you guys recommend me wax the car one day before I set out? Because I'll meet me girlfriend and I want the car extremely shiny.

One of my friends warned me that the new wax on the car is sticky and will get more bugs and dust on highway.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!!

your friend is using some crazy-ass wax if it makes his car sticky. the way to tell whether your car needs detailing/waxing is to run a microfiber towel along the hood (preferably when its clean). if its still slippery, you dont need a detail job yet. if its sticky or shows some resistance, its time to detail/wax. just makes ure to avoid whatever it is your friend is using. i can imagine him pouring maple syrup all over his car...now that stuff's sticky...
