    Meguiars M26 Stained Trim

    I thought that M26 wouldnt stain trim? Did a 2014 Silverado with black grill and right by both headlights on the corner of the fenders there is a swipe mark from where I musta hit with the foam pad while waxing. I used M26 so I wouldnt get the wax residue. Now I know I have to be more careful with it...

    Does anyone else see that with M26?? Hi-Tech Yellow Wax

    I usually don't.
    And:

    Michael Stoops stated on:

    "M26 dries clear so it shouldn't be an issue. As always, however, it's best to use a little caution when applying wax around those areas anyway."

    So...(wondering aloud):
    Would an update be in order?

    M26 doesn't actually dry "clear" and it will stain/leave white residue on trim piecs. M26 goes on yellow and drys to a light white color. Awesome wax, but you do have to be carful around the trim pieces.
    Keep Calm... and Detail On!

    Re: Meguiars M26 Stained Trim

    Im glad its not just me. I was pretty careful still even though I believed it didnt stain. The two spots are OBVIOUSLY from me cause its only been 3 weeks since Ive done that truck. I used Duragloss 271 trim detailer that day too fyi.

    I will be more careful from now on, just wanted to let everyone else know also. Ill try to get some pix tonight.

    I either treat them first or I mask them if buffing
