SiAdam SiAdam Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/22/01 Posts: 19264 Loc: West By God Virginia	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... $\:\($ _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.

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 _________________________ 2016 4Runner Trail Edition \| 2000 Honda S2000

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. _________________________ 05 Berlina Black S2000 700whp / 500wtq Built, not bought.

It prematurely dries up the wax/polish and you won't be able to spread it/work it in. -Matt _________________________ 2016 4Runner Trail Edition \| 2000 Honda S2000
