Not sure if you can see the streaks it leaves , you have to buff until you elbows start to grind to remove it

Thanks rockhopper , May give them a whirl when I run out of paste wax.

Ive tried it twice grandad pike, same result each time. Its possible I have a dodgy bottle or its reacting with my previous wax .

Something definitely not right with my stuff, Ill try it on another car if poss to rule out any clash with previous products Ive used

On reapplying my ultimate paste wax the finish was back to its deep glossy self again .

Heres a quick vid I took on the day to show the greasy staining it left , definitely wouldnt buff off easily

Hi Darran

First time i sprayed onto a Microfibre sparingly then onto the panel, the next time sprayed onto the panel direct. Both yielded the same results for me. Second time was quite a pleasant day with some sun.

Next time ill prep the panel first with quick detailer to try and help strip any old wax and try again . Its a reall odd un as all the videos do state that its an easy on/off product although i did see someone struggle a little in one video but i cant remember who it was.

Its one of those things that if you were here with me you would say ' blimey look at that, that aint right' . Its pretty simple stuff after all and you cant go far wrong with it. A quick wax over with meguiars ultimate wax sorts the panel right out again and comes off super easy so i really dont know whats going on with my bottle of Turtle wax to create the smearing.

Update- tried it today on a new metallic grey VW. The smears were there but almost invisible on a grey car. Mopping off with a damp micro fibre definitely helped . So the smears may just stick out on my black car, I will try a damp micro fibre to remove it on my next attempt .

Quite possibly, a few peeps advised using a damp micro fibre too remove so I tried it. I did wonder if I was degrading the coating during removal that way though as per your comment.

Tried it all sorts of ways on my black ST , buffing off immediately, allowing to flash of for 5 , 10 mins, in the cold, in warmer weather, out of direct sun .

The result was the same every time with regards to the streaking, smearing. The grey VW I used it on today still streaked but hid it much better due to the colour.

Ill try it one more time on my black ST with a damp micro fibre and if its still hard to remove Ill give the product to a family member for use on a lighter car

Been shaking it like a Polaroid picture lol.

I might try and strip a panel with some APC and a panel wipe and try again if I get chance just in case its a reaction to old product.

Please keep me updated, thats the thing , its a relatively simple task to use this product, its designed to be simple so i dont think i can get it that wrong. I suppose its possible that i have a duff bottle , maybe to much silicone as the dark streaks definitely look like ones that would match say silicone grease for instance.

I did my daughters old clio today as I was bored. Its hardly ever washed so old product contamination wont be an issue.

Its the lovely met blue colour similar to the 172 cup , guess what , streaky!! Had to buff off with a damp micro fibre again, think I might have a dodgy bottle of gear.

Cheers Grandad pike, dont get me wrong when it does come off with a damp micro fibre it looks pretty good but I wouldnt say it was a wipe on - wipe off product. Conversely I used my maquires ultimate paste wax on my ST this weekend , always a pleasure to use with cracking results
