Something is causing botchiness????

Question

Hi all, I was getting my car ready for the annual huge car show Horses and Horsepower yesterday. After washing and claying I used brilliant glaze followed by buttery wax. When I got the car to the show and it was out in the sun the paint looked like only what i can describe as blotchy. It was like certain areas had a deeper ,wetter look then others which creates a very undesirable look, like the paint is almost greasy or something. I thought ok, no problem and whipped out the trusty detail spray, well that made the problem worse :help: I was really nervous then bc rubbing it did nothing at a normal pressure, the only thing that worked was rubbing the paint very hard and for a long period of time to get the blotchiness to I guess blend away. By the time I was done I thought my arms were going to fall off lol. Just not sure what was going on, it has happened before but I think washing the car does the blending a lot for me, but I still dont like having to go through this. Does anyone have any idea what was going on? Because of my prep work there was nothing on the paint except the buttery and glaze. I do love the shine this stuff creates though, in fact I won "best in class" and everyone wanted to know what I used to get my paint so wet looking, I pushed Adams hard lol! Anyway this is truly bothering me bc I dont read about this happening to anyone else, thanks for any help!

That is weird, here are my steps:

 

1 wash car 2 bucket method

2 dry car

3 if needed clay bar

4 if clayed then swirl and haze followed by fine machine polish and wiped down with detail spray followed by another wash

5 brilliant glaze

6 buttery wax

 

Thats it. Not sure about humidity, would a high humidity cause this? If so I would imagine more people would have it happen to them. Only thing I can think of is that the brilliant glaze somehow reacted with the wax because maybe it hadn't fully cured or something I put the wax on almost immediately following the glaze. Unless maybe im not getting all the polish off, but I wash the car before the final glaze so I dont think that is it?

Weird! I used this exact combo las weekend and saw none of the blotchiness of which you speak. What is your exact process? Environmental conditions? Etc... With more details, the guys here can better help you discover the cause.

Thanks for the reply, seems weird though bc the directions on buttery state that you should use the detail spray if it is difficult to remove, so not sure, I was thinking maybe the glaze didn't dry fully or something before applying the wax????
