Gary,
With the recent change in the weather here (milder and no rain), I just
finished waxing our Camry and once again I noticed the same thing that you
did. I used Meguiar's Next Generation (NXT) Tech Wax 2.0 liquid. I say
"once again" because I used it on the TR6 in the spring and it reacted the
same
way.
This is supposed to be their "latest & greatest" product so I called
Meguiar's and asked why it was smearing. They said that that was normal as
the
agents that give the finish it's final gloss, protection, etc. sometimes
need time to settle in......hmmm.
The wax applies easily and seems to last a reasonable amount of time and
the greasy (smeary) finish will go away after a wash or two but it seems a
bit odd to me.....and this stuff isn't cheap! So, maybe next year, I'll try
someone else's product...

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!
