What Happens If Wax Drys

[GeeUK]

Hello

My mate thinks he may of let a little amount of wax dry. Does this make your paint work ruff by bubbleing it up? You cant see it, but you can feel it....

Can this be fixed?

Bubbling up? Surely it wasnt paint stripper he put on his car!!

Why dont you tell your mate just to rub it off with a nice soft duster!!

 

[GeeUK]

it just feels rough and he waxed the car today so im just guessing really.

letting wax dry wont normally cause any problems.

just meant you have to rub really hard to get it off!

wash the car again as normal or if you can use traffic film remover to strip all the wax off and problem solved

I find the easiest way to remove a bit of wax you have missed is to reapply another coat of wax to that area and wipe off as it removes the old and the new together.

Takes a lot of elbow grease, previous experience trust me! It is worrying feeling the bodywork when it is rough but wash the car, chamois it and then wax it again and really rub after wax has been applied - this should work

Nothing wrong with wul it just strips wax, indeed the instructions for zaino, advise washing the car with dawn (US version of fairy) before applying a fresh coat of wax. As long as you apply fresh wax after using wshing up liquid it is not a problem!

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

What about rubbing it off with a clay bar ?

WUL is a heavy duty detergent as is traffic Film remover or truck wash. its what you need to use to get everythng off the car including the wax.

car shampoo is just detergent at a lower concentration with wax (and/or silicone) in it.

WUL wont damage your paintwork so if you dont have traffic film remover use it
