Waxing help

[Attention2Detail]

Hi all, i recently bought a new maxima and decided to wax if for the first time.



I followed the instructions and aited it to haze then buffed out with a clean 100% cotton terry towel goin in a light back ad forth motion.



It seemed to be working fine but when i woke up this morning I noticed a fine dust all over the car which would have to be the wax.



btw i was using Mothers Carnuba Wax.



any tips would be very helpful as i am a newb and this is the first car i have ever really cared for )

Excessive dusting is almost always due to using too much product. Next time use a very little amount of wax and apply it evenly over a small area. You can wipe off the dust with some quick detail spray and a clean towel, or one of those Calif car dusters.



If you are new to serious car care I highly recommend purchasing the Autopia Guide to Detailing. It will teach you a lot about how to car for your car properly. The first 8 chapters are free so download it at www.autopia-carcare.com and have a look.

Also make sure you aren`t using those cheap bulk so-called 100% cotton terry towels made outside the US. They tend to be very abrasive and leave tons of lint everwhere.



If you`re using the Mothers pure carnauba wax you might want to use their glaze as well first to make it look even better. :)

Just QD and you should be fine, as long as it is just dust.



Dust is going to be attracted to a freshly waxed car, its just how it works.
