Is there such thing as over waxing ? i got to admitt i'm pretty obsesiving with my shiny black Evolution. i mean honestly the more i wax the shinnier it gets . The better i like it. or am i over doing it . to the point where it doesn't matter how much i wax her she's already shiny enough where it doesn't matter how much i wax her she's only gonna stay that shiny. Or the more wax you wax her the better off and shinier she'll get so in long term she won't fade in the heat.

 

AS long as you are doing it correctly, I would say no...

Then again, if you were over waxing, wouldn't it be dead obvious, as there would be massive accumulation of wax, hence turning white?

Just a thought. Im sure it can be done, but the results would be negative, you'd buff it out.

So if it looks clean, then NO.

 

ok makes sense

 

While you're at it, do you mind waxing my tarmac black Evo as well. LOL

 

if you are using a white microfiber cloth do you see black(or paint color of your car) in the cloth? if so...you gotta change the wax(brand) coz its fading your paint.

 

If you properly wax your car you won't overwax it, but after a certain point you're wasting your own time as the actual depth of a proper coat of wax is only 1 millionth of an inch thick. If its the look you are after, switch on and off between a glaze and a wax.

 

for the look, polish really helps on a black car
the wax over that

 

What the f are you saying? Shut up!

 

you sound crazy

 

yea, you can over wax. i over waxed my car and damaged my rotator cuff...

 

did you read the rules? I hope mods will see this!

 

First let me start off by saying that I am a detailer. Now, what are you talkin about?

First off that's not fading that's your paint chipping off.
Second its got nothing to do with your wax brand.

 

I used(7yr ago) turtle wax(paste) from my prev car...got red civic and everytime i use it the red paint goes to the cloth so i just figured its the wax...

 

You're hoping I would get in trouble when this guy I'm flaming is giving the wrong info? Please, I think they have better things to do

 

ok...ex: you are waxing your car(your car has OEM paint) while your hand buffing it you see the paint in your microfiber cloth what would you do? (not all wax are good 10 yrs ago!)
a.) dont wax at all
b.) or change your wax
