No polishing, not even a waxing prior. The car is brand new and this is the first time I ever waxed it. (Actually, this is the first time I ever waxed any car.)

 

If you're getting kona blue on your towel it is because there is no clear coat on top of the base coat. So if have applied wax and it doesn't look any different it is because you're missing clear coat. I would take the car back to the dealership and have it fixed since you have a warranty on the car. Also, show the dealership how easily you get the base coat color on the towel from just rubbing the finish.

 

Damn, I was hoping it would not have come to that.
I sure as hell hope that I will not have to put my car in a line for them to do it, that is if they have to clear-coat it.

Also, will they need the wax stripped off to do the clear coat? I know next to nothing about car body painting.

 

I would take the car back to the dealership and show them what happens when you rub a towel on the paint. Yes, the wax would be removed from sanding and prepping the finish. Can you get the paint to come off on a different section of the car or is it just on one section?

 

It's not just one specific section or panel, where the paint seems to be transferring on my cloth is when I was rubbing the wax off the corners of the painted pieces.

For example, I raised the hood and at the corner tips of the hood (the 4 corners), this is where the paint transfered to the towel.

And its not just the hood, its also the truck hood corners as well, and when I took the towel and scrunched it into creases to get out the dried wax.

As far as from a broad flat surface, those were okay, otherwise, there would possible have been a larger paint spot on the cloth.

 

Weird with paint coming off so head straight back to the dealership. As far as waxing goes I have exactly 200 coats on my 09 with 1300 miles (approx 1 coat for every 6 miles)

I always apply the wax/polish in a straight line, never circular. This is one way to avoid spider webbing etc. You can apply the wax from front to back one time, the next up to down.I apply wax generally to the whole car as I'm doing it in the garage and then take it off. I use very very thin coats as the more you pile on the more you have to take off (waste of money). On the very odd occassion (twice) I have put wax on the car and then for whatever reason decided I do not want to take it off ie laziness/ran out of time etc etc. At this point I cover the car and a couple of days later I take the wax off. Other than the wax being dry I have not suffered any side effects. I use a cotten towel to take the wax off and microfiber towels to buff and finish. If you ever drop the applicator or buffing towel do not use them until they have been washed and dried, grab another towel. It's amazing how much damage can be done to a car finish with the smallest of grit etc. Good luck and let us know what is up with the paint-GO TO THE DEALER ASAP.

 

Why the heck do you wax so much? Jim, your mustang could have been polished by an inexperienced person using a high speed buffer and took all the clear coat off the corners. Like I said before, take you car back to the dealership and show them how easy your base coat shows by just rubbing a towel on the edges.

 

This is my first time I ever waxed my car, well, actually, this is the first time ever that I ever waxed any car.

As for being polished, I would hope that no one has ver done it. I bought the car basically straight from the factory (its only a couple of months old).
If someone has polished it, and they took the clear coat off, then it would have been the dealer who did it.

I got a call form the dealership today; apparently, they were concerendd that the survey I wrote was not that good. I thought I gave them good marks, but I guess they were not good enough.
I was trying to get the guy to hook me up with a free oil change, he said "Bring it on in when it is time." I will call him back and make him commit to the free oil change in exchange for better survey mnarks. I wil also bring up the paint issue too.

They have my V.I.N, so they know the car is still brand new. So when they see the paint issue, they will know that it is not from age that the paint is rubbing onto my towle.

 

Thanks for the tipes, this is info I never found reading up the waxing threads. As for the wax I put on, I had no clue what is considered too much or a thin layer. The back of the can just said "apply a thin layer over the entire car" but there was no pics to whow what a thin layer looks like.

I am calling up the dealer again tomorrow. If this is a case of clearcoat not being put on in certain spots or not enough clear coat being on, I know they will make it right.
Again, I am a total paint noob and know next to nothing about clear coating and all.
And I am just as noobish as far as waxing.

But this experience and all of your all's help has educated me alot.

 

Glad to help, but one thing about waxing, you don't need 200 coats of wax. 2 coats will last you about 2-3 months.
