Mothers Carnauba paste wax stuck all over car, why?
I had washed my Passat very thoroughly, clay bar on flat surfaces and was ready to wax, Next got some old Mothers Caranuba Paste wax out and started applying like I usually do using pad circular motions, not too thick either then let dry to haze and wipe off. But after barely drying to haze it was on the finish like I had left out in the Arizona sun for a week (I'm in Indiana really)!!! Tried little water, no, some detail spray no, rub harder barely, then I found some Meguiars Swirl remover and with pressure that finally took it off. But it was hard work to get that wax off. FYI car was in garage, body was cool, shaded all the good stuff. Is this a problem with maybe the wax being really old or maybe my 2015 Passat clear coat is starting to fail? I keep it in the garage about always so it doesn't sit outside very often, then only for a day or two. It was really weird as I didn't let the wax sit on the car more than 15 to 20 minutes but it dried like a hardened crust that fast. Any ideas why?

Yeah, trash it. Much easier waxes on the market.

I have used the liquid version of their cleaner wax, and one time many years ago I simply applied with a buffer across the entire vehicle and then I went back and started to remove the product.... let me tell you that I won't be doing it like that again with this product. I had the same experience.

I always suggest you follow the directions and apply to a small area at a time. Maybe even a body panel. The entire vehicle at once with a carnauba product? That wasn't the product's fault. Sorry.

Do you have another car you can try a little bit on? If not, just go to a parking lot and put some on one of the cars parked way out where no one will mess with it. Leave a MF and then go wait and watch. Guaranteed when that guy comes out he will try to remove it. See how well he does.

If it’s the pure wax, you simply applied way to heavy. My can from about 1995 has over 50 applications from it and it’s still about 3/4 full.
