Wax on, wax off from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift

This expression is used in an American movie, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.
There's no wax on, wax off in drifting. The first drifters invented drifting out here in the mountains by feeling it.

" wax on, wax off" is a quote from the movie, Karate Kid.
I have watched the movie, and I can guess it means persistent/constant effort.
I wonder if those in English speaking countries who have never seen Karate Kid can understand the expression.
