Thanks guys.......what causes this to happen

I am detailing my wife's Trailblazer. After doing 3-4 passes with both Severe S&H and S&H, I was happy with the results and wiped the residue. After wiping the residue to a clear finish the paint would become cloudy after a few moments each time I buffed the surface. Temp was in the high 70's with low humidity and I was working inside the garage. I have not experienced this before. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Leaving in the morning. All detailed under cover. I pre-treated with QS to help with bug removal later. Adams bucket with grit guard with the necessities and plenty of towels.

Thanks

Headed on a road trip this weekend to a friends wedding. My wife and I plan to take our Challenger. It's about a 2hr trip one way. No hose that I know of, only a coin wash. We will be gone Friday evening through Monday so I won't beI able to stand not having the car all clean and bugs removed. Limited on space with our dog and luggage. What would everyone recommend as essentials to take.

# of towels-each type, chemicals, tools, etc.....

I did a wipe down about an hour after application on Sunday and then after i noticed the smears in sunlight yesterday i tried detail spray on the hood and WW. I'll give it another try tonight. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone else have this result or suggestions?

Thanks

sealant gets applied to bare paint, follow that up with the glaze then wax. if your taking a road trip and your expecting to hit bugs, a quick application of the QS over the wax is okay too

Just applied a layer quick sealant to my black challenger this weekend in the garage. My lights are not the best but it looked fine when I wiped it down. Followed directions on back of can. When I backed it out this afternoon to look at it in sunlight there were smears all over. I had applied BG/Americana a month ago and understood the above post as I could put QS over the top. Any suggestions? I tried wiping it down with detail spray and ww with no change. Smears are not like wax that hasn't dried.

Thanks

If I am in the middle of polishing my car and plan to finish the process over a couple of evenings, is it necessary to clean out the pads or can I just seal them in freezer bags until the next day?

Thanks

I typically use brilliant glaze followed by Americana. What is the best way to incorporate the quick sealant? I have a bug problem in my area and I despise cleaning off bug guts.

Thanks

Great video. After watching this I had a question about washing you car on road trips. Several times during the summer I take may car overnight to a weekend car show or a family event and only have access to a public self serve car wash. What tips, methods, products products do you recommend for these situations? In the Midwest I always fight bug guts on the front of the car that I don't want sit on there for a couple of days and or I may be prepping for a showing after driving one or two hundred miles. Thanks for your input.

Junkman,

I have a situational question about using the detail spray that I wanted to get your opinion on..........

You have a completely clean surface and then go out for a ride and pick up some bugs along the way. Do you suggest using the waterless wash when getting back to the garage and removing the bugs while they are fresh? I always want to get them off asap but hate having to rewash just because I went on a short ride and the rest of the car does not require it. Bugs are my biggest problem in the summer as I rarely drive in the rain with my Challenger. Please advise.

Thanks
