collinite 845 haze

[hawaiian5]

I searched and read a few posts but still no answer. I have a red Infiniti g35. Paint has been clayed, compounded and polished. Used ipa before applying 845. Used a little and wiped off after about 20 to 30 minutes. The next morning, the car was covered by a thin haze like residue. I wiped the whole car again and residue was gone. Woke up this morning and the whole car was covered again. I really like this wax, but I always get this haze. Could anyone share some light on this problem? I'm about ready to give up on this wax and change to glasur or souveran.

Pollen?

Dew?

Nope. It's definitely from the wax. Here's something else I noticed, I have to use a short nap mf towel to remove it. My other towel "crazy pile" smears it instead of removing it. The haze makes the paint look dull, but once I wipe it away, everything is good until the next morning. Car is kept in the garage, and the weather is tropical. I live in hawaii

I am wondering if you applied it on too thick? It is supposed to be applied very thin from what I have read.

That would be my guess. I am hoping someone has an answer as I will be using it soon. If not, I will take my chances with a paste wax that I use all the time.

I put it on thin. But don't get me wrong, when I wipe off the haze, the car looks amazing. It's a good wax. Really good.

I've noticed this on humid days touch it with your finger is it slightly moist? It might just be the moisture sitting on top combined with the water repellency?

Actually I did touch it. It's like a very thin chalky haze. "Dried wax". But really think.

I had unpleasant luck with collinite!
1) ghost issue
2) hard to buff off even straight after applying each panel. Had to remove with damp microfiber soak in cold distilled water.
3) doesn't last more than a month even with few coats following days.

I tried both collinite 845 & 915, guess the weather and temp here not liking them :D

Mask what kind of weather you got?. The island I live on here in Hawaii, we have all but one of the climates. I'm actually seriously thinking if the climate is the actual problem.

Unless try a longer drying time??

I am wondering if the humidity does affect it. If so, I would look into another wax....thank you for the heads up!! I just bought a bottle and was going to use it this weekend!! I may just do a test spot and gow with something else.

I'm definitely gonna keep this wax, but I think I'm gonna change to Glasur or souveran.

Have you heated the wax up before applying?

Maybe contacting the manufacturer would be the best thing. Make sure to share their answers with us.

Sounds to me like you applied it too thick, and did not allow it long enough to set up before removing.

I'm located in asia, malaysia :)
I had no problem using it on wheels though but the wax performance here had me thinking.
Currently my DD have sonax pns on and I coated the wheels & trim.
Looking into tire and PBL coating
