When I wax a darker car, I get like swirls of darker color. Its hard to explain. Its almost like paint is "thirsty" and more of the paints color comes out in some spots. Anyone know what I'm talking about? How do I avoid that?

sounds like you may be applying the wax too thick. try using a QD when you remove the wax?

QD as in quick detailer?

and I haven't thought about that, I've tried to apply it as even as possible, but that might be the problem.

How much wax are you using and what size area are you applying it to?

I would recommend washing with dish soap to take any wax you have on there off and then do a clay bar on the car. Then do a really good wax in the shade.

alot lol, I figured the more the better. I would apply to the whole car, then let it dry, then use a microfiber to remove the residue

Wait, you covered the whole car before you started to remove any?

With many products, if it's a problem waxing the whole car before starting removal, then you're using too much product. There exceptions to every rule, but "thin to win" is a good guideline with most waxes and sealants.

Well, to put it simply, your method is completely and utterly wrong. Go read the stickies. You're using way too much wax and should work on a 2' x2' section at a time.

My bad! I'm a noob! But thanks, I'll read up on the stickies.
