bigaudiofanatic Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ya I have the same problem. Either detail spray or using a new towel works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargerMatt Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I get this every time, but the next time I wash it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbarton Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks, letting the car cool off now before trying with the detail spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasssc Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just an FYI, I washed my car yesterday with all Adams product including detail spray to dry, and... Problem gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbarton Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for all the help. Im gonna try a new towel and detail spray and see if it works. Ill let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I wouldn't go that far yet... see if wiping with a fresh towel and DS solves the problem. If it doesn't then strip the areas that are showing the issue with IPA and reapply your MSS. When you're removing you shouldn't have to use anything to aid in removal if the conditions are decent and you didn't apply it too heavily. The only times a shot of DS should be needed for removing is if you're facing difficult to remove residue. It won't hurt to use it, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Cjbarton Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Should i do a IPA wipe down or a dawn wash to remove the residue, then apply a new coat of Machine Super Sealant? When removing the Super Sealant is it best to use Detail spray to help with the removing process or is it fine just to buff off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Another possibility is FMP residues still on the paint when MSS was applied. In some conditions (most specifically high heat or extreme humidity) FMP will be difficult to remove and leave a little residue behind. If that were to be 'sealed in' by the MSS it may have an effect similar to what you're describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbarton Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yes i let it cure for about 30 minutes. I didnt do wipe down after the 12-24 hours though. But it has been about 3 weeks since MSS was applies and it has been washed between this time. Ill try the detail spray and new microfiber, ill post a pic too if no results.

Team Adam's Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Might be an obvious question... but since you're using Machine Super Sealant did you follow the directions as far as an initial 20-30 minute cure time, then do the secondary wipe down 12-24 hours later? Hard to say without pics, but you could just be seeing whats considered normal for this product... it does setup over a long period and haze a second time requiring a second wiping. This is also why we recommend no layering before this period passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongosg8 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Make sure your using a fresh clean Microfiber cloth when removing and buff it out really good. Sometimes when your using (and not aware of it) a some what soiled microfiber your only streaking the paint. for peace of mind I always go over my cars for a second time with a fresh Microfiber.

Wardo Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 no it wasn`t hot. it came off pretty easily. and i used machine super sealant. it bugs me want my paint to just drip and seeing all these waves in it. This is something that normally occurs with paste wax. Did you let the mssw sit long? Cure 12-24 hours after removal? Try waterless wash instend of detail spray. If you rush detail spray and don't wipe it down enough it can leave hologram looking marks behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasssc Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Was your paint hot too? How easily did the wax come off? What wax did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cjbarton Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah, i dont understand it. I applied Machine was in the garage on a freshly corrected car. Im not sure what it is. Ive only heard of it being on darker paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasssc Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I saw the same thing when I applied Americana on a somewhat hot surface. It kind of looks like holograms, but the way OP describes it is spot on! I tried wiping with detail spray and it lessened it for the most part, but it was still there.

Cjbarton Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ill grab a photo tomorrow. so some detail spray might remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 spray the area with detail spray and wipe with a microfiber. If it's not wax residue and still present after the wipe down try and get a good photo of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
