Wax & todays heat.

(1/4) > >>

Mk5Dom:
So this morning before work I gave the car a coat of SRP and Collinite 476s. The car wasn't in direct sunlight and the heat hadn't turned up yet. (6:00am)
I did the whole car and the wax was left to cure for 10/15 minutes thereafter.

Then at work I was showing a mate the new wing that Volkswagen replaced, in the car park. And I ran my finger across the panel and it felt rough, I then ran my finger over the rest of the body work (factory paint) and again it felt slightly rough.

It's almost as if the wax had melted in the heat (32 degrees) and the dusty particles from the car park had stuck to the car. Is this remotely possible or could it be something completely different? Never experienced this before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Saintsteve:
Could well be the wax/polish has a low melting point and abit of dust/pollen etc.

stealthwolf:
Depends on how thick you applied it. You may have had residue wax left over. Or as you said, could be just dust. Wash and dry the car and see what you can pick up. Might be worth a buff with some QD.

Mk5Dom:
Cheers boys, I'll experiment in the morning.

Scottymon:
Clay it, reapply a panel at a time and buff. :happy2:
