Wax Is Killing My Paint Please Help!

[Animosity]

Okay, I have a 93 Red 3000gt and the wax is really starting to do a number to my paint.



I use a orbital buffer since I don`t have the money to dish out on a PC right now but I use it at a low safe speed.



Currently I`ve used ZYMOL liquid Wax and Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Waxes. Along with that I`ve tried the meguiars carnuba too



My problem is the car`s 11 years old and the paint seems to get on the buffing pads or my towel if I do it by hand. What`s causing this to happend and is it normal? Im getting a bit nervous.

probably just due to the fact you`re working with a single stage paint and removing a little everytime you go at it.



Go easy and use gentle products. There`s no way to prevent the transfer of some limited amount of paint to your towels, etc.

Don`t use cleaner waxes every time you wax your car. Get a pure wax like Meguiar`s #16 or Mothers California Gold pure carnauba

Yeah, straight wax would be a much better bet. To turn a funky party funkier, use some sealant on it...layer it up and then put a straight carnauba on top of it all.



Got pics?

No but I can get some, how do I apply the sealer?

[MattZ28]

usually The same way you apply a wax....



Look here for sealant reviews

Usually red is single stage... especially bright ones.
