I learned something today. I wanted to hit the s2k up with a quick coat of wax since I haven't buffed it since it's orginal detail back in early July. Anyway...I washed the car as usual and thought I would wipe it down with a quick detailer..I have been using the Mothers maroon/redish spray bottle, the one that comes with the claynbar kits. Well I recently switched the Meguirs Ultimate Quick Wax, comes in a black bottle. I decided to wipe it down with that, get the dust off before I would seal/wax it. I buffed on my NXT sealer and as I am wiping it off, it was like sandpaper. Evidently the wax from the detailer balled up on me when I buffed my sealer on. So I figure I will have to wash it again, quick clay and then reseal it.. It still looks shiney, but has lost that soft feel to it... Made me sad... |

Isn't the quick detailer for after the wax? Probably wouldn't matter but JW |

Not necessarily. You can use QD whenever you see fit, as long as the finish it's too terribly dirty. It does work best after a fresh wax job, but Ive never experienced what youre talking about before Adam. That seems sorta odd. -Matt |

I had sprayed it on thinking it would help wipe off any dirt/etc, thinking I could skip a few steps..just reseal and wax. I'm thinking it didn't have time to setup or the heat generated from the buffer jacked it up somewhow... Just something to watch out for. |

Were you doing this in direct sunlight by chance? If so, then don't. It prematurely dries up the wax/polish and you won't be able to spread it/work it in. -Matt |
