So I decided to try a new product out on my car, and instead of using my girlfriends accord as a guinea pig i did it on my G.
So i bought Mothers 3 step wax system, step 1 clearner wax i skipped it because i arealdy clay my car. step 2 sealen & glaze i like the idea because putting a glaze than a sealeant takes alot of time. step 3 carnauba wax.

step 2 went on easy and came of easy it was great i loved it.
step 3 went straight downhill, the wax hazed way too fast and became dry. So after doing this wax all over my car. i though it looked amazing but something didnt feel right about the look.
so today i went out to wipe the dust off the car, i want my G sparking on July 4th, then I noticed squiggly lines in the paint it looks extremely uneven. then i felt it and you can feel the unevenness on your fingertips and thats when i realized i F**ed up my G.

the wax stripped off a huge layer of clear coat. Now I'm emailing mothers and see what happens. I know they will just offer me a refund but i'm going to keep fighting until i can get my G fixed and have them pay for it.

any advice on what i can do to get my G fixed or will I have to get it repainted.

P.S i still have a clear coat on my car Im just concerned about the future how much longer will it last me now.

 

Can I ask the obvious question, did you wash the car prior to everything you did??

 

Lol, yes I wash my before i wax it. Its not my first time waxing my car, its my first time using this wax on my car. i usually use Dodo Juice soft wax but at $60 for 8 oz it gets expensive. Since i use it on my car my gf's car and my friends car. it doesn't last long. So i decided to use mothers since their products are usually good.

 

wax does not strip of clear coat. Are you sure that isn't just wax residue?

Do you mind taking a picture of the paint?

When you waxed you let it haze and did you buff off?

 

Your most makes no sense, the wax removed your clear coat? Take some pictures.

 

I let it haze then i buff it off, but it got really dry and it was hard to take off.

 

It removed a lot of it, I'll try to take some pics later, i don't know if it will come out on camera.

 

Ok when waxing make sure you're in a shaded area and the general rule of thumb for most waxes is you apply two panels and buff off two.

If there is wax residue left over on your vehicle grab a mix of 50/50 water and isopropyl (rubbing alcohol). Spray, wipe and the wax will come off. Or if you want to start over again you can strip all of the wax with P21S Taw or Dawn dishwashing soap.

 

what did you us to buff the wax off? buffer or by hand?

 

Wax will not strip off your clear coat. You mentioned you applied the wax and it hazed rapidly.
Were you doing the application outside or in the garage? Was your paint surface hot to the touch?
If you were doing it outside or on hot paint, the wax will cure rapidly and might get baked on.
You mentioned you waxed the entire car before you buffed it off... so it must've sat on each panel for quite some time before you buffed it off.
My guess is you let the wax get baked on. If you don't buff off the wax before it gets baked on, the wax will become very difficult to remove.
This shouldn't damage your paint so long as you get it off in a timely manner.
You can try washing and claying your car again. You can use dawn dishwashing soap or clay with a 50/50 mix of water and rubbing alcohol.

Next time you wax, apply it in the shade on cool-to-the-touch paint.
Some waxes require a 10-15 cure time, and must be buffed off in a timely manner.
When I'm working with a wax with a short cure time, I wax three panels, then I come back to the first panel I waxed and buff it off.
Then I wax another panel, then I come back to the second panel I waxed and buff it off. So on and so forth.
Most waxes you can do the entire car and the buff it off. Make sure you read the instructions on your wax.

 

x2 on what Fishrfun said.

It just sounds like there is extremely hardened wax on your paint that you failed to remove. You have NO idea if you removed any clearcoat at all. Do you have a paint gauge? Probably not. You have no way of telling if you removed the clear coat, but now you are fighting Mother's because you think wax removed your paint? What?

 

waxes wont do this.. especially not a great brand like mothers.

did you apply by hand? or did you use a buffer and if so what pad?

 

I thought was wasn't an abrasive..so it wouldn't be able to remove clear coat. If you used a machine (didn't wax by hand) then that may be the culprit. Are you sure it wasn't a polish, which IS abrasive?
