[QUOTE=gasti_ako;60982]since a wax is dry lubricant, would this improve aero dynamics?[/QUOTE

I've read discussion on this on other forums, some say yes and some say no. I always try to wax my car right before a road trip and it seems to help my FE. It seems that anything that makes the surface slicker will help aero dynamics by letting air pass over the surface easier.
