Labor Day weekend, I buffed my car again, followed by sealant, glaze, and Americana Wax. It's a 2001 Honda S2000 and I must say that if you look at the paint the wrong way, you're going to put swirls in it, so I'm very meticulous in the way I maintain it.
It has been no longer than three weeks since it's been hand washed. I washed it this past weekend and sprayed waterless wash all over the front bumper and mirrors, followed by foam gun and then washed as normal. I use a bug sponge to remove tar and bug guts, and the bug guts came off effortlessly.
I was disappointed when I began drying my car off and noticed that the bug guts had essentially "stained" my front bumper. I ran my fingers over the bug guts and it was smooth, so that's why I am using the word stained.
I grabbed some waterless wash and a waffle weave towel and went over the front bumper but it didn't make a difference. Used some fine machine polish and a 7424xp and it made it decent enough for me; I was tired and done messing with it at that point.
So, my question to you guys with more experience; after all the buffing, sealing, glazing, and waxing I just did three weeks ago, why are the bug guts not coming off with washing? It's very frustrating to me and I feel as if I shouldn't have to buff my car again just to remove bug guts..did I wait too long to wash it? :/
