I was waxing my car (2011 mazda 3 hatchback) yesterday when i noticed as always the Tech 2.0 wax i was using did take a long time for the SWIPE TEST to work. It would always smudge even after half hour...
so I left it on for almost 3 hours! (it was around 73 degrees outside and not too humid)
i noticed that it really hardened a lot and took more work to take off...it would also "flake" into dry particles (the car had been waxed once before, was it because I was taking off the last layer of wax before this?
Because I noticed that when I waxed the rear bumper (I haven’t waxed this part of the car before, it went on EASY…PASSED the swipe test in only 20 minutes and came of clean without “flaking”)
Although the bumper is "plastic" with clearcoat black finish, is it easier to wipe off on plastic surfaces? but it should be the same because it's the same paint and clearcoat as on metal surface
Did I leave the wax on for too long??
