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?

According to this glossary, it means "having great fun":

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

chilling in the car they spent all day waxing;

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.

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".
