Stop in for a cup of coffee

Put another coat of wax on the Fury, since I took the night off. Just can't muster the interest in going to work lately. But that's another subject. Right now I am wondering how to get the green paint to take the paste wax. Water doesn't bead up the way I'd like to see. And I keep getting paint transfer onto the pad. Will I ever be able to get a durable finish, or is it impossible to do on a green car?
