sounds like you had a fun day...
use Dawn or other dish washing detergent to dissolve wax ring around sink... I also use it to quickly get wax out of orbital pads after applying. The snappy pad cleaner stuff seems to only be good dissolving polishes in pads. Oh yeah, and clean them in a utility tub or let them soak in a bucket w/ soap/cleaner... not the kitchen sink.
couple other quick tips...
- never wax/polish a car in direct sunlight... (washing should be avoided too particularly dark colored cars)
- never apply wax/polish to a hot surface
- to apply tire dressing, I put old newspaper behind each wheel and roll car onto. It catches the excess and prevents it from staining garage floor/driveway/etc. Once finished, just drive car off, pick up soiled paper and dispose.
Now, relax w/ a few well earned beers and admire your handy work
