I have a black G. Black is sweet, but of course, very difficult to maintain. Anyways... I got some bird crap on the car and someone bumped my door and I got some of their paint on my car (inconsiderate a$$holes...) so I decided to apply some wax to the affected areas to shine her back up. I used MacGuirres cleaner wax and I got like cobwebs (swirl marks) where I used the wax. WTF. I thought that the wax was supposed to get rid of that stuff, not make them! I followed the instructions to a T (let it dry for about 15 mins, etc.) Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Balck is a bitch man. I try to not use any circular motions when I am doing anything to my black beauty. I'm extremly afraid to wax her. I would make sure that you use extremly soft towles/cloth when doing anything and also make suure that the wax your using has no abrasives or anything like that. I really dont know much about the cleaner wax that you were using but I'd check out what it says on the bottle. there are some techniques to remove swirlmarks but I dont know what they are off the top of my head. Check the upkeep forum and see if you can find anything. good luck hope you can get them out.

 

i have a BLACK G coupe as well... but my problem is different... I debaged my car a month ago.. and as I parked my car into my garage.. i saw that dust had built up around the former spot for the " G 3 5 " badge... and the dust created a slight G 3 5 sign.. so i quickly grabbed alcohol... and wiped the area... as i let it dry... i noticed that the area i used alcohol on, lefta huge clear white spot.... what is that? did the alchol wipe off the wax? please help... if you would like. .i can post a pic of the white thing im talkign about.. please help with solutions... trhanks

The alcohol stripped the wax off. Might want to rewax the car now so everything looks the same, get yourself a high grade wax though...
