yea I live in FL 9 months out of the year when Im at school and they sit in the sun all day that why I think mine suck.

 

This problem is solved by spraying the wax on your microfiber towel. I have never had that problem though when I used to spray it on the vehicle.

 

I was talking about soap with was, not a spray on car wax. The point was the when you're washing a car and not thinking about whether the soap has wax in it you go and wash your windshield w/o a second thought and then after the first rain when you try to use your wipers they won't work as well because of the wx on the glass.

Of course to remedy this you clean the windshield later with glass cleaner, which is what should be done regardless since it does a better job, plus you can use the glass cleaner on your wiperblades too to makes sure they are clean. So really you end up doing more work because you use a car wash with wax that doesn't give that great a shine and you have to clean the windows because of it.

 

The car wash I used to use had a wax in it but it wasnt turtle wax brand or anything and never really had any problems. Only problem I had with it was if you werent quick enough to dry the car it would streak on ya so I dont use it anymore.

 

Maybe a bit obvious for most of the enthusiasts, but worthy of a post nonetheless. When purchasing a car wax, make sure you look at the label and determine that its for 'clearcoat'. If the wax isn't designed for a clearcoat finish (older cars), you will find that it actually makes things worse. Using a wax that isn't for clearcoats can leave a haze on your car, also, its rumoured that it can actually permanently take the gloss off of your clearcoat finish.
