Don't be dumb like me!

[Tillmanator]

Hi folks,

I'm almost embarrassed to post this, but here I go nonetheless.

I've used Quik Wax many times before and found it to work as promised... quickly and easily. Then starting in the summer it became MUCH harder to remove... almost impossible. I had recently moved to the beach and my car now lives in a garage right next to the ocean. I thought perhaps this might have something to do with it. This happened the next couple of times that I quik waxed... rub rub rub..... hard to get off!

But then... DUMB ME... realized that all these times I had forgotten to shake the darn bottle!!!! Man do I feel like an idiot!

So folks... please remember to shake your quik wax first!

And now a question. Since I've used this bottle of quik wax three times without shaking it I've obviously sprayed out unshaken and unmixed stuff. Is the rest of my bottle now in the wrong proportions since I've sprayed out several portions of unmixed product? Should I just throw it out and get a new one?

PS... It's good to be back. I haven't posted here in a while. I took up the mandolin and have been posting on a mandolin message board for a while.

Oh, it happens to everyone sometimes...

The occasional splatter is something I definately kick myself over.

Yeah I haven't seen your posts in a while. Did you register on the other forum?

You should be alright. Just shake it up next time.

Re: Don't be dumb like me!

If you have sprayed the whole car 3 times without shaking I would be leary of it being useful anymore. After you shake it up and do a test on a small area does it come off as you remember or is it still difficult? If it is difficult after shaking I would just toss it and get a new one. The minimal cost isn't worth it to try and continue using the existing one if it isn't performing properly.

Just thinking about this again. I agree, if it becomes difficult to work with, I'd ditch it.

Heck, I thought you were going to say sand was all over the car! Haha, woah!

I would shake it up then see how it does. If its still hard to get off, run over it for fun.

Re: Don't be dumb like me!

I would shake it up real good. Try a test spot. If it works great. If it does not toss it. Good luck.

I thought the same thing, thought he was rubbing sand in this finish, glad this was not the case.

I would feel bad for you if it wasn't for this...

I had recently moved to the beach and my car now lives in a garage right next to the ocean.

Lucky!
