Meguiars NXT
I must be doing something wrong. But I've tried it twice now and both time I had the same result. It's very hard to buff out. It leaves streaks. I'll take a microfiber towel and buff the hell out of a spot and it'll look good. Problem is, at the edges where I stopped my power buffing routine, it's "smeared" there.
What's going on? How do I get that smoothed out. Once I have that, I'll stop using the stuff.

Well, this time I waxed the entire thing before I started taking it off. Kind of thinking that if it's smearing, it hasn't "hardened" enough. It was not in direct sun. It was actually a little overcast that day.
Normally I'll do one or two sections at a time, not wax the whole thing so I think I've covered my bases.

"To perform a Swipe Test, take your index finger and swipe it across the film of wax or paint protectant on your finish. If your finger wipes away the dried residue and the surface below is shiny, then the wax, or paint protectant, is ready to be removed.
If however, you swipe the finish and the product streaks or smears, you need to allow a little more time for it to fully cure."

Yep, NXT can take a while too dry, I've tried too soon and gotten smears. Have to swipe test it, and even when I think it's good if I find it smearing in places I give it more time.

Except...I did try detailer to get rid of the swirls. Maybe I need to rewax the whole thing and start over. Maybe put a few heat lamps in the rafters of the garage.
I use it sometimes but it smears alot as well..So far the best and easiest is my Wolfgang Fuzion..Its expensive but it does a great job. Wolf gang Sealant is really oily
I do sometimes have light smears in random spots now, but a microfiber clears it right off the next day, although they are usually my fault for waxing at night with limited lighting and then seeing what was missed in the sun the next day.
