How do i wax a car?

I plan on waxing the car tomorrow morning but i’ve never done it before. I have a professional buffer and the bonnets

So how would i go about doing this after i wash and dry the car thouroughly?

Answer with best details is greatly appreciated and gets best answer, obviously

Be very careful with a power buffer, If you have not used one before, now is not the time to learn on your paint job. To much pressure and you can burn through the paint on high spots.
Use only a high quality WAX. Do not buy a polish, this will also contain a small amount of rubbing compound in it. This will leave swirl marks in the paint. Never use a polish on paint with a clear coat over it.
Manufactures will typically tell you if your car has a clear coat and tell you it never needs wax. You can wax it but do not polish.
If the paint is old and oxidized you will need a polish to bring it back to a shine, then a wax on top of that.
Start doing it by hand until you learn the job well. Do it in the shade. Apply a thick coat of Wax and let dry to a cloudy haze. Then buff it down with lots of clean, lint free terry cloth towels or cheesecloth.
