Waxing the bonnet.......went wrong

(1/3) > >>

jonnym:
I decided to wash the car and wax the bonnet. I waxed the bonnet in sections and buffed it off BUT seems I didn't do it very well, as if you look at the bonnet at a slight angle, you can see swirl-like marks aka the polish. How does one get rid of this as buffing seems to do nothing?

I'm going to get a mate to do a proper detail and machine polish but in the meanwhile, how do I do it?

Thanks all.

You shouldn't need to wax a bonnet in sections. If I was you I'd remove the wax and try again. I always finish by passing over the wax with a microfibre in straight lines.

Ahh, I thought the doing the whole bonnet in one could see the wax dry without buffing hence split into 3 sections.

So, will a wash and clay bar be sufficient?

Maybe it's how I do it. I go wax, and buff with a microfibre cloth in a up/down/left/right direction. Is that right? Likewise, passing over wax in straight lines....is that literally just buffing in a straight line?

Thanks andrew for your help. Much appreciated.
