Hi,
I know that there have been plenty of threads on jacking, and I have looked at all of them but I am having a few problems. I am trying to remove my wheels so I can clean them thoroughly, and coat them with some wheel wax.
I started to jack the car up at the alt. jack point a few inches forward of the official rear point. Using these instructions:

I got it up and then lowered it check everything. The crease that you are supposed to use was starting to buckle and bend, luckily I caught it before it got too bad.
So what am I doing wrong?
Then if you look at this thread:

It mentions using the point just behind the muffler listed as the rainy day jack point in the picture. Is that point safe to use?
Thanks!
I circled the part that is bending:
