Not 'maxing out' - just the intr.v. 'maxing', as in:
 "Every moment fronting and maxing,
 chilling in the car they spent all day waxing;
 Leanin to the side but you can't spead through,
 Two miles an hour so everybody sees you."
 - Summertime
 
 So what exactly does it mean Ebonics experts?

 Perhaps, one day, it might mean "finding through Max's reference page".

 This might be a reference to waxing one's surf board, were this a Californian ode.
 
 Or it might be a reference to waxing eloquent, but one doubts it.
 
 Or it might be a reference to applying and removing bikini wax, but surely this is not done in the car.

I think they'd spent all day waxing the car, Fr Steve.

> According to this glossary, it means "having great fun"
 That's kinda what I figured, though I'm thinking in means to enjoy oneself in a relaxed way - kicking back "maxin'" rather than "buggin' out".
