Gary........two things come to mind. There are more and more waxes that are
removed before they dry but that's always stated in the directions. If they
dry, they are very difficult to remove. The other is that humidity plans a
big role in what happens when you wax your car. If it's too humid the wax
just seems to "roll around" as you try to remove it. We've all been waxing
our cars for many many years and think we know what we're doing, but what do
the directions say? I know they've fooled me a few times so I'm back to
reading them.

Subject: [TR] wax on wax off
Just finished waxing my car and its the first time i've used Mequires. Went
on well but it didn't seem to dry like waxs i've used before. Didn't dry to
a
powder like others i've used in the past. I went ahead and buffed it off
by
hand although it was tough to get it off to my satisfaction. There seemed
to be a greasy film that was tough to get off. Using clean fresh towels
helped.
I let it dry for at least 2-3 hours.
It's fall here in Iowa but got up
between 55-60 degrees today.........maybe thats too cool? Is this normal
for Mequires? It could be that in the morning another buffing will clean it
all up. Living in a small town it also could be that the wax i purchased
has been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long.
just wondering!
