This is from the movie Karate Kid. It was used in a scene where the sensei (Pat Morita) was teaching the student (Ralph Macchio) certain martial arts moves and putting them into a more practical context. These movces were used to put wax on and take wax off a car.

It's originally from the 1984 movie "Karate Kid", starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr. Kesuke Miyagi.
The intention is to teach that the more you practise and the harder you work the better you get at doing something.

It's a line from The Karate Kid. Where Mr. Myaggi* is teaching Daniel the virtues of hard work and at the same time training him in the basic blocking techniques of karate.

Cleaning the surface of the paint on an automobile. You put the wax on (usually rubbing it in a circular motion), and then you buff it off with a clean soft cloth to make the paint shine. The phrase was popularized in commercials for a particular brand of car polish.

Karate Kid. It was the training for Daniel given by Mr. Miagi (sp??) But it definitely helped him learn the proper technque for arm movement....and help build their muscles.
