This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Wax removal question

Discussion in 'Color is everything!' started by eagleguy, May 17, 2020.

    I use a wax called Finish Kare 1000 here in Florida for my vehicles stored outside. So far I have found it to be the longest lasting and best wax for my needs. My question is this. After applying a thin coat it seems the wax is not friendly to being mechanically removed as it loads up the cotton bonnets I use. It does come off by hand using a microfiber towel that is turned often but obviously this is tedious work. Any ideas as to getting the product off easier ?

    I don't think he wants to strip the wax off but get the residue off when applying the wax.

    How does the manufacture say to do it?

    Yep read it wrong,..Turtle wax ICE,..it will clean the residue without affecting the WAX,..Waxing a car isn't really the best thing to do imo,..

    Yeah, I've heard from many painters that a clean car is better than a waxed car! That's hard to do with a driver though.
