waxed my truck and still rough

[n0sh0b0i]

Just like the title says. When I wax my truck, the body is rough instead of smooth. It feels like there is shitload of overspray or something. Is there anything that can remove the overspray?

Try a Claybar Kit from Mother's

Mothers California Gold Clay Bar -Mothers Clay Bar is a synthetic clay. This synthetic clay bar is a moldable compound that grabs tiny contaminants as

Clay bar will take it off. Use a paint cleaner, the na polsih, followed up by a nice wax of your choice.

Get a clay bar and use turtle wax Ice as the clay lubricant. then buff with wax of choice.

Turtle Wax actually now has a clay bar product on the Ice product line. I'm thinking about using it on my truck this thursday.

I dont know why wetsanding is being thrown around for something like this. I'd say thats a very last resort and in no way something that should be done as a first attempt to remove any overspray.
First, try a claybar. If a standard claybar doesnt work, go with a more aggressive clay (usually have to order this online as most parts stores only have a fine grade clay). I'm almost willing to guarantee one of these will solve your problems. Polish afterwards and you'll be fine. Since you're in HI, give pakshak a try, he's a good guy.

whoa now ............lmao

[RoushRocks]

Claybar and polish are you're best bets

[Trukingurl]

So have you claybar'd it yet??
I have found that a good claybar will turn even the roughest feeling
vehicle butter smooth.
claybar'd my old toyota, used a cleaner , and two stage wax
almost made the paint look and feel like new.

[ACE2790]

I just claybarred, cleaner wax, and then normally waxed my truck the other day and the paint has never looked as good as it does now. Highly reccomend the clay bar, I used the mothers kit also.

[n0sh0b0i]

i'll probably be doing it next week...i haven't had the time to clean my truck

[adsquared]

Ok I have an 88 chevy silverado with a harwood fiberglass cowl hood. The hood and top of the truck are oxidized bad. I have tried buffing them out and it doesn't really help. They are not ruff after you buff them, but the color still has the white color to it. I was thinking of using some rubbing compound on the top of the truck, but I am not sure if I want to use it on the fiberglass. Is there any alternative to using rubbing compound on fiberglass?

i tried cplay bar on my car worked GREAT!!!!

tried wet sanding my truck and the dirt bag that painted the bed side used 1 coat of clear and 1 coat of black so i went straight through to primer after 2-3 strokes of the sand paper!!!! i was pissed!!!!

[xtreme3411]

As long as you use lubrication and follow up with a coat of wax....youll be good

Thats what I'd do with the buffing to really get it in the paint
