KodiakBlack Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Buttery wax is very forgiving when it comes time to buff it out with the microfiber. As long as it is dry to the touch hmm sounds good, sounds like i just have to wait for it to dry longer, and not apply as much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KodiakBlack Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 great looking truck. how do you like those tires and how are they wearing for you? the tires are amazing, rims eh not so much. the tires have about 15,000 on them and still have plenty of meat left. They are AWESOME in the snow/mud/rain. i havnt had any problems with traction what-so-ever with these tires! they are also a little loud on the road after they are wore in.

What do you mean by "a dime-sized drop with some DS" ? What was the temp when you were doing it ? Was it humid ? It will wipe off like a fine layer of dust if cured. Do the other half of the hood and wait a half an hour this time. Then just test a small spot with your finger to see if it is cured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakBlack Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 What do you mean by "a dime-sized drop with some DS" ? i only used about a dime-sized drop of BW, but i also sprayed the pad with DS to make it a little easier What was the temp when you were doing it ? Was it humid ? It will wipe off like a fine layer of dust if cured. Do the other half of the hood and wait a half an hour this time. Then just test a small spot with your finger to see if it is cured. the temperature was maybe 70* out not even, humidity wasnt that high, the hood was cool to touch(not hot) The BW seemed to haze up, but it didnt seem to powder up. When i glided my MF over the haze it didnt come right off. Should i have waited longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KodiakBlack Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 i did another detail. used Buttery Wax on the whole truck and waited probably about 30 mins- 1 hour before it came off. and STILL left marks. i had to use DS to get most of them out. i give up on it. im never using it ever again. very unsatisfied..

I dont understand why im having such a cruddy time with this wax. i MUST be doing something wrong... You probably are. If you followed Bill's advice, then the only other variable is the towel you're using to remove the product with. You are probably using the same towel to remove the wax that you used the first time you applied BW. The first time you applied it, you used way to much product. Now, all that excess product is in the towel you're using and you are somewhat reapplying old BW while trying to remove new BW. Start with a fresh towel. Thoroughly wipe half the hood down with detail spray and a clean towel. Next, apply a very thin layer of BW and allow it to dry the proper amount of time. Using another clean towel, wipe of the applied BW and notice that it doesn't smear up. You have to constantly flip your towels when removing wax and it is going to take way more than one towel to do a truck. Let us know what happens.

Bill-V8V Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My only other thought, besides what AJ said, is maybe there is a fabric softener in the detergent you used to wash your MF or a a dryer sheet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
