So I washed my car today and when I started waxing it came out all cloudy, as if the wax didnt want to come off. So mow my hood is all swirly and cloudy and stuff. wtf

 

Any other info?

How you applied it?
Was the car hot?
In direct sun?
Type of wax/polish?
How long did you let it sit?

etc. etc., theres many different variables

Perhaps with more info we may be able to assist you

 

yea, more details. did you put alot of wax on?

 

car has to be cold to wax it. probably to much engine heat.

 

Should wax your car in shad and if you used the ICE stuff then that could be your problem sometimes that stuff dont come off

 

That ICE **** sucks ass!

You first thing you need to do is get that off.... Soo wash your car with dishsoap to remove the wax build up!

1.) Wash it get the buildup off.
2.) Wax using very light coating over the surface doing one section at a time!
3.) Using a microfiber towel get the wax off.

Wax while the surface of the car is cool, not hot! And try and do it in the shade!

 

Also are you mixing different brands?? That cause some not so cool results.

100 % Agree, the more info you provide the best for all of us to help you

 

its pretty simple you didnt use a microfiber cloth to get the wax off. if u dont allow it enough time to dry or dont use a microfiber cloth you get that clowdy look. just get a microfiber cloth and go over the entire car wiping in circular motions and the clowdyness should dissapear.

 

ok. to sum all that up. outside temp is about 45f. cloudy day. Used my friends bucketless carr wash stuff. I usually use that spotless Ice stuff and havent had a problem last lear with it. The wax was meguires(sp) tech wax 2.0? I used that spray turtle wax last year. I only waxed the hood with those round microfiber pads. It was like the wax just didnt want to come off the car for some reason. this morning some of the areas of the hood look fine, but the center(supercharger area) is different shades and smeary with swrils and stuff. Looks like crap up close.... Also durning that wash, I noticed a bunch of bumps on the back of my trunk and upon looking closer, they have like little rust spots all over. the bumps are about the size of a mechanichal pencil lead. is that a paint defect on the trunk. I live in michigan and this is its first winter.... oh and just a random piece of information, someone also hit my front bumper under the driver light and took a small chunk of paint. it still looks black so maybe there is still some paint remaining? is there a way to fix the scratch/chip?

 

Hmm... I always use Meguiars NXT Tech Wax, never had a problem, my results have always been fkin awesome with it.

Wish I could help.

 

I tried this wax because I hear good things about the company. could I have not rinsed my car off well enough?

 

i had the same problem when i used eagle wipe and shine detailer. i suspect that when it happened to me that the car was not as clean as it should have been. dawn dish soap and a little extra rubbing got the job done.

 

the dish soap wont hurt the paint or clear coat? and the specks aren't paint defects?

 

Im sure if you used it everytime you washed your car it could hurt it over time, but its ok to use it every 5-6 months or so to get off all of the old wax.

 

triping is on track. the dawn will dewax the car. if the hood is all you waxed then just mix a small amount and use it just where you have the wax and spots. these spots are generally on the trunk,hood,roof.andfender tops. did you use any detail prodcts before waxing?

 

no. no detail products. but can someone explain whats going on with my trunk?

 

possible some metal flakes landed on your trunk and then rusted....it shouldnt be your trunk....try claybarring....maybe

 

 

yeah i get that all over the rear of my redline...i think it comes out of the exhaust but yeah the claybar will make short work of them...i am wanting to get the bug block off of turbowax but i need to save up a few bucks be collection agents suck ass

 

clay bar huh... that scares me just becauswe I have never done it and people keep warning me that if not done right, you lose.... but this stuff should come off then huh? guess I will give it a try once michigan makes up its mind on what season it is...

 

yeah , clay bar the whole car after winter, and youll probably have to use some dawn on your hood, if you leave the wax on too long, or dont buff it out good, you get shitty swirly wax marks everywhere

when it gets warm, you and i shall have a detailing day.

 

haha sounds good
