Why is it dragging? is it big, and hanging down? i have used some of my husbands bike/car wax...placed on a rag , and then buffed. If you do a wax, make sure if yours is a spray,you spray the rag not the surface.
are you using gloves? gloves with the little rubber bumps or rubber finger tips, witll also help..in fact, they are a must..in my book. you can use a clean pair of garden gloves, maybe from the garden center or dollar shop. you will notice a big difference in control.
since your new to this, i would start off with practice sandwiches..24 x 24. when i first started i did only baby quilts..
it is all i could handle! lol
