sticky wax

Biggun · 12-28-2003, 10:59 AM

It may just be me, or that the wax stays in the garage or something, but after I let the wax haze up and I try to wipe it off, I get these sticky spots that are hard to get off. The only way I have found to get them off is use another towel. Any suggestions on this?? Am I leaving the wax on there too long, or not long enough, or is the wax old or something, what am I doing wrong?? It seems to happen with different types of wax, so it may just be the way I am doing it.

Thanks guys!

BTW I used Duragloss or Duraglass Wet Look wax this last time.

Probably the carnuba in them. I LOVE zymol but it is the same way so I just flop the towel alot & stay in the same areas a little longer. I have now been using Mothers wax & It rubs off much easier.

Most likely you are putting it on to heavy ,put it on in very thin layers if you have any residue left spray it with a Qick Detaler like Meguiers or Mothers and wipe in down with a clean towel or micro Fiber towel is best hope that helps..... I own a detail shop
