So I bought a brand new container of meguiars ultimate paste wax and I noitced after a little bit of use there are tiny hard white balls formed all over? Is this normal?? I'm just worried it will cause whirl marks all over when I rub the wax in.

What type of applicator are you using? Is this happening as you are applying or as you are removing?

The one it comes with...it's happening as I'm swiping the pad into the wax container, after awhile there are literally tons of little hard white balls all over my hands even.

its not a wax I've used, but as a rule of thumb if you rub some of the balls between your fingers and they 'melt', it'll be fine. it they stay hard, don't apply it

I agree with Niblick. This is a paste wax, so in that aspect it is hard and will take a little massaging to get to to start warming as you pull it out of the container. Try to only lightly swipe the applicator and do small sections until it is worked into the applicator. You should be okay after that.

I got a TON of them cleaning the applicator pad...they are very hard and don't melt when rubbed between the fingers...I probably just F'ed my paint waxing it with them :(....why are they in my brand new wax I just bought?! I swear I get the worst luck.

There is something wrong with your pot. I've went through a lot of this product and never experienced this. It looks like your pot got overheated then cooled back down, or possibly frozen and unfrozen several times. Return to retailer and begin again.

Contact meguiars. They may replace it for you. I use this wax all the time. It's a great wax. Supreme durability. You just for unlucky I guess. But as a previous member said, drastic temperature change can cause the wax to act funny.

Will granules swirl the paint? Can wax form this?

Saw your thread over on MOL. Contact meguiar's customer service and let them know. They will replace it for you. I don't know how you prepped the car but take it out in the sun and see how it looks. I doubt you damaged your paint.
