Hey guys. Today at work I brought some Ultimate Liquid Wax to use on the work van since I don't care much for the liquid version on our cars at home. Before today, I have applied multiple coats of D151 on the van without any issues. Probably 4 coats of D151 since Christmas 2011. I went to apply ULW today on the van, and by the time I finished applying it to only half of a side of the van, the wax appeared to have vaporized into thin air!! I was dumbfounded. I tried applying it pretty thickly and then it didn't disappear as much. It was like applying lotion on dry skin. It just got sucked in or something.
I also observed that when applying ULW with the foam applicator, it was extremely hard to move the pad around, like the paint just had absolutely no previous D151 on it, which it very possible I guess.
So what exactly is going on here? The pad was definitely filled with plenty of wax, yet it took quite a bit of force to move it around. And like I said, there was basically nothing to wipe off because the wax on the surface basically disappeared before my eyes.
I'm thinking the van needs to be hit with D151 first, then followed up with ULW.
Suggestions? Thoughts on what happened?
