Greeners:
Confused as to why the wax you are using doesn't come off? Are you putting on too much? Less is more when it comes to wax!  :wink:

Anyway back to your original question, an MF and some QD should soon sort out any left over wax!  :happy2:

big al:
Sounds like you just need to spend a  little more time removing the excess wax.



Whilst i'm here, why not ask away rather than starting a new topic.

is it better to apply wax with a cloth or pad, and is it best to remove it with a cloth or pad?
Got some of the red sponge pads that are great , just want to make sure I am using them correctly to get the best usage,

S2 Ant:
I apply wax with a foam pad and buff off with a good microfibre cloth.

The foam pads work well as i just put it in the wax and twist 90 degrees to pick up some wax to apply without it picking up too much

stealthwolf:
Apply the wax with a foam pad. Mist the foam pad lightly with a quick detailer. Load the pad with wax. Apply very thinly. You should be straining to see where you've applied it! Allow to haze and then buff off with a microfibre cloth. Use a quick detailer to help if required. If there are any really hard bits, reapply the wax (so the solvents are present) and then buff off.
