Default One more coat of wax until next spring

Yesterday I had a half day off of work and decided to get one more coat of wax on the car until next spring. It isn't getting warmer here in MN so I thought It would get it ready for winter.

I dont know how you guys wax, Cause I put some
on my box and after it rains it seems to come off.
and the smoothness goes away the scratches
re-appear etc.

Any suggestions

Buy better wax? You need to polish to get rid of the scratches; some waxes have fillers that just cover them up that's why they seem to come back. If you want something that lasts a bit longer, try a sealant instead of wax. I've had good luck with the DuraGloss line lately, but there are lots of others.
