Re: remove wax
too much wax causes buildup and will actually cause a hazy look and will cause dirt to bond easier

Re: remove wax
nope dont leave it on for weeks tho
just pour some on with a clean towel then follow up with a dry clean towel wax on wax off also if you have a paint shop, or a autozone(not sure if they will have it) they have stuff just for that I prefer rm 900. |

Re: remove wax
try the Dawn original blue dish soap followed by a clay bar and rewax.The caly bar removes stuff you never knew was there. Helps retore the luster that you are missing. Good Luck

Re: remove wax
That would work too. FWIW, I actually prefer to use a 50/50 solution of water and alcohol to remove crap from my paint. It seems to remove wax too.

Re: remove wax
What about Meguiar's Body Scrub? It says it's supposed to remove old wax while leaving the paint surface smoothe and glossy.
