    Blotchy hood - just waxed

    Hi guys. I just finished doing a complete detail (wash, polish and wax) on my friends car. I noticed after wiping the wax off, the hood looked blotchy underneath the wax in some parts. Did I not wipe the polish off enough?

    That might be the issue but it could be quite a number of other things. Try posting a picture or two.

    In my experience blotchy pairn has been due to repaint, and the paint wasn't evenly laid down. More noticeable in metallic paints. Other than that I can't really think of anything else.

    Car wasn't repainted. It just looks like deep wet spots beneath the wax. I didn't notice it until I pulled the car out of the garage and into the light

    Sounds like water spots. Pics would help to better determine.

    Sounds like wax streaking to me, frequently happens with LSP's that have a darkening effect.

    Very well could be. We are all just spit-balling until we see pics.

    I'd say bird poop etched stain. Just did my first detail and couldn't get that stuff off of the hood of a swirled out car.
