So you think it could be wax on it still?

I actually had this little cleaner stuff, I went out and sprayed on it and was wiping it. It was ocming off a little, but it was taking a long time and I was wiping it pretty good.

Maybe that Meguiars wax remover stuff will take it of... in just a min, I will upload some pics of what my hood looks like.

Edit: Here's a pic.

Is that excess wax on there? Or does anyone know what it could be?

Also, if it is excess, what takes wax off?

Alright, still been trying to fix this. Does anyone know what it could be????? It's driving me crazy.

Now, I just got done washing my car, and dried the hood, and where water ran down the hood it left the marks there from the water? What is going on?

I wanted to put a new layer of clear coat over it, but now I can;t cause this will still be under it. I need to get this off before do that.

Do you htink if I put another clear coat layer on it, t might make it go away, lie you can't see it?

no not yet but then again there is a danger to zaino, and its not the products fault... zaino is such a time consuming product to apply that once you get it on and your car is shining, u wont waste ur time waxing it with other 'inferior' waxes ... and since most people dont have time to zaino their evo every other week, the car actually suffers..

p.s. .. zaino is great but it doesnt mean you can apply it once every 3 month and get away with it...

I'm planning on making a sock for my wing. Take some vinyl, sew on some velcrow strips, and your good. Do it with the same color vinyl as your car and it wont even be noticable. Then you just wrap your wing if you going to park it out in the sun for a while.
