Waxing Problem, Need Help!

[IceBikers]

I bought turtle wax to triy to wax my bro wira se, today i tried it on the front(bonet), i washed it with dish wash liquid to get rid of previous wax(previous owner done) n dirt, then i wash again with turtle car wash then i wax it..

the problem comes... there is a layer on the car after i waxed it.. i believe it is the wax thing, yeah it does remove the swirls.. but no matter how i buff it.. the layer wun go away instead of a shining later... so u'll see the circular waxing layer...

how to get rid of it?

Not to scare u bro but the lines and 'scratches' u see might stay there forever...

Did u wax it under the hot sun ? My advise - dont rub any more. Try to use water and fingers to rub it abit. If its still there, then confirm your paint 'die' already...

Just my 1.5 cents.. based on my personal experience

Eih,.. forgot to read this post. Then I can confirm to you that the paint is dead. The scratches u see is there permanently. Stop waxing anymore coz it will eat up more of the paint and eventually the metal will be seen.

Later along the months, u will see the paint is faded and the scratches are even more obvious during hot days.

I used turtle wax b4, it really eats up the paint! Even any cheapo waxes are the same. Best is to send to the shop few months once to wax it. They have the facilities and machine to do it.

To confirm what I say, ask the car painters...

Sorry bro.

this is my first time of waxing car..

use clay. buy magic clay from eneos. the purpose is to remove oil substances such as these.

Dude.... first and foremost, never use dish washing liquid to wash your car. Its too strong and causes your paint to have micro cracks. Its the same as washing your car with salt water a.k.a sea water!! water seeps into the body and than causes rust. no shit man.... i read this in an article....

Ok, from my guess.... u can't get a shine right..?? you get like this dirty layer right.... ok, a couple of suggestions....

1. Only wax/polish your car when its cool. NEVER under the sun or when the body is hot.
2. Remember, that a polish and wax are two different things. You need to polish first before you can apply wax. Polish will give you a shine and remove any dirt/grime, NOT wax. Wax is just a layer to protect your paint.
3. AFTER polishing followed by waxing. Use a CLEAN, VERY CLEAN cloth to buff.

i may be wrong, but these are just my 2 cents worth...

i did all the right way..
no scratchs at all... just the swirls..

paint dead?!! no way.. the car just 1.5 years...

never mind, thanks guys for ur replies..
i think i just wash the car enuff... no more waxing..
