A few times I have used Pinnacle XMT wax on several different cars. Some cars (in the correct lighting), leave a smearing effect, and no matter how much I hand buff, it still is smeary (sp?). I am doing it in my garage after all the correct techniques, but it still wont buff out. i don't know if it is coincidence, but it only applies to the hood. The rest of the car looks fantastic. Any help please!.

Was the hood hot/warm. Was the car used anytime before the wash and wax. I have noticed this on cars of mine that the hood was hot and the wax has smeared.

Good point about the warm hood. However, the car hadn't been run for about 3 hours at that point. I doubt there was any residue after washing, claying, polishing, then waxing; but who knows. I called Pinnacle and they basically told me their products don't do this.

I have had smearing problems but have solved them. Previously when I polish the car, SIP, Nano,Glaze I had not cleaned the surface after each step. Not sure why it is could be needed as I thought each additional step would clean off the previous, But now I wipe the surface clean after each step and bring it to a shine. Now no smearing at all with Souveragn paste... Do not know if it will help you but it has really improved my finishing dramatically.
