Re: Do I have to remove freshly applied Cleaner Wax in order to Apply Finishing Wax instead?
Number 3. If it looks good leave it alone or add another layer of wax. I would not try to strip and rewax as you are increasing the chance of inducing swirls.

Re: Do I have to remove freshly applied Cleaner Wax in order to Apply Finishing Wax instead?
Thanks! I thought something looked funky when I was done today because my polish looked better than the wax.
It looks like the Cleaner Wax introduced swirls. Bummer...
Do I need to do a full Megs 205 (which was my final cut)? Or is there a lighter treatment that would be acceptable. In other words, what would be the quickest way to remove the swirls that the cleaner wax introduced?
Thanks!

Greg, all due respect, you spent 10 hours polishing a hood? Do you see scratches or swirls? And I agree with Supercharged75 #3.

Well... I'm getting quicker lol. It was my first ever polishing job and I was using the Junkman's method. The hood was pretty rough on a 25 year old black car.

What kind of car, and is it original paint? That can be useful intel.

No...you do not have to remove the
Cleaner Wax: go ahead and apply
the Finishing Wax right on top of it.

Note I did not work the Cleaner Wax...I simply applied like Finishing Wax, let dry, and buffed off. It looks pretty good. But I was concerned I might have introduced some scratches with the Cleaner Wax.
So, which of these should I do?
1. Do a Finish Wax over top of the Cleaner Wax?
2. Strip the Cleaner Wax with paint prep and then do a Finish Wax?
3. Chill out man... you don't have to do anything. Besides your paint is 25 years old
Thanks!

#3!!! Chill out man!....LOL If you want you could apply the finishing wax on top. But if your ride looks awesome you could always do it in the future. As for the cleaner wax introducing swirls...I find that hard to believe. My guess you still need to get the compound/polishing down pat. But again, if you are happy with the way it looks now....you could always re-polish your hood and do it all over again. But you spent 10 hours so CHILL!!!!.....LOL

1995 Miata. It was in FL and had loads of bird poop etching. The paint was ok... I decided I'd try to make the paint look as good as possible given the myriad sins. I don't intend to repaint, but am using the car to learn how to do the best finish possible with what I have.
