My car is in good condition and has never been buffed. I used a paste wax at the end of last season that i had sitting around for a few years(not sure if that caused the problem) I have what looks shinny smudge marks on one of my doors, sort of like bad buffing marks. I want to strip all the wax off the car and see if i can get this problem to clean up. Any suggestions?


Thanks guys

 

i'd start off by using your normal bucket wash method with about an ounce of dawn soap added in the mix. this should make the wash solution strong enough to strip all remaining wax off. after that i'd follow up with a claybar to remove the embedded contaminants and then top with your favorite wax.


enjoy!

 

Yeah, just use dish washing soap to get the wax off- It works well for me.

 

if you usedish soap be careful and rinseit all offwell, and wax it rightafter cause some of my friends have done that and destroyed their paint job by being careless. they used large amounts of dish soap and arent really car guys so thats definitely a factor but i always err on the side of caution with my mustang

 

yeah i am looking to wax it right after but i have heard before that dish soap is a bad things to use

 

I don't like to use dish soap at all, save that for the dishes! Any good polish will clean the paint and strip the old wax off.

 

any brand of cleaner wax work better than the others?

 

The best products recommend to use the dish soap to strip the wax (apply cleaner wax after if you want)...either will work though

 

Meguiars Deep Crystal Step 1- Paint cleaner. Cheap and works.
A good polish will also work.

Microfiber is your friend.
