Mkay, well it’s back to how it was, instead of the chalky white results I got from the cleaner wax. Note that I was pretty sure this was fixable and I didn’t really get angry until the Meguiars rep started putting words in my mouth and claiming I only let the paint dry for 48 hours and making...

Ok, not everybody. Bob you were actually very nice and helpful. Thanks.

The Meguiars, absolutely, 100%, DID do that. Nothing “catastrophic” happened, though. Maybe you missed my last post on page 4. I used Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover, after a couple applications, it is fixed.

It’s not a great paint job. I never said it was. I just wanted to polish it up and make it better, and I had no idea results this bad were even possible. Now that I have removed the product it is much better. It’s too bad, when all I wanted was some advice on how to fix it, everybody has to...

After one application of Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover:

No, but I am certainly not a pro. However it looked FAR better before applying the cleaner wax. All the white/bleaching you see was caused by the wax. I just want to, at this point, know how to remove it.

I’m concerend at this point that might actually grind the product into the paint, making it even harder to remove.

The paint is not as smooth as I would like it to be. I did not aggressively color sand it, but that may be my next step.

To be specific, the car was painted March 1, but I started working on polishing about a week ago, so roughly 3 weeks after paint.

Again, the paint itself is not “dried out/whitish”, that was caused by the cleaner wax.

Maybe you guys can see better in this video. It’s not the bonnets. I put it on, let it dry and have been trying to remove it since then. YouTube

Towel does not mar the paint at all.

Note that it looks fine wet. It just dries cloudy.

I used a polisher with freshly washed terry cloth bonnets. However, that was not the problem. You can still see big white marks where I wiped on the initial product. I would say, with the deep crystal, at step 1, using the cleaner, I began to see problems. I expected it would buff out with the...

As expected, Meguiars says this is my fault and they do not feel like there should be any warnings on the bottle. “You wouldn’t use it as shampoo either.” said the represntative. They provided no help other than “take it to a professional.”

As you can see from this article, 48 hours should have been plenty of time: https://itstillruns.com/spray-stage-urethane-auto-paint-6045927.html

I’m the painter. It’s single stage acrylic urethane.

I can’t imagine if I would have waited 2 more weeks the result would be much different.

I should note that first I used the 3 step “deep crystal” system, with similar results. I then did my best to remove it before trying the cleaner wax.

Is there anything I should do before using the 7?
