Started the car up to pull it out of the garage and everything was fine. Put a coat of wax on the car and when I started it up a blue puff of smoke came out the exhaust, after it cleared everything was ok, no more blue smoke. What could have caused the puff of blue smoke to come out the exhaust? TIA

If it is a one off forget about it, any number of reasons why a small amount of oil could get sucked into the pot when turned off last time.
If it continues to happen worn valve seals would be favourite.
