I used this product by hand on my black ES300 and it left alot of uneven areas &amp; swirl marks behind. Car looked better before I "waxed" it. Does anyone know a remedy to clean it up. Thanks

There are a few possibilities... sometimes if the paint surface isn't extra clean and void of contaminates, then the wax can build up around the bonded dirt giving an appearance of swirl marks. If you want a "quick" solution, I'd use a spray bottle with very warm water, spray lightly, and wipe down using multiple clean microfiber clothes; doing small sections at a time and wiping length wise. This should even out the "wax". If you want the "long" route, then use a car wash detergent to strip out all the old wax, clay bar, polish, glaze, wax.

I would skip the Meguires. If you 'clay' your car to remove all the old wax, after applying the Opti spray wax you will have a shine like you have never seen before.

It will remove the small specks, but your results will be better if you use a clay bar first. The small specks will mix with the polish creating more swirl marks. Then you would have to polish again with a new clean pad. My amateur opinion...

I recommend by hand. This is very simple wax protection. Easy on and off IF your cars finish is in good condition (third and last step). This would be your last step after using Mother's polish and wax (second step).

I have used this product for several years. Follow instructions to the letter. I used a good quality car wash liquid soap you can obtain at any car store or Walmart. Though it may not have gotten all the original wax off the car, I can say that wS all I used and the shine and feel of the paint on my 2008 car still passes as factory new.

Very difficult to do if you did not liberally apply the wax beforehand. You can try buying another can, or get some APC (all purpose cleaner) dilluted at 1:3. I used Wolf's APC and elbow grease to remove over spray.

i am a car nut as opposed to just a regular nut. on a 96 impala ss i used a machine and it was scary as to creating swirls and so on. meguiars is the finast wax and product line i have ever used and in over 50 years of detailing great cars i wish i would of found this out long ago. by hand you simply do a better job and a safer job. it takes longer but the finished product is worth it.

No, but Ultimate Compound will be much more effective at removing the swirls. Follow with Ultimate Polish and a finishing pad to bring back the clarity and shine.

M105 and M205 was easier for me to work with. Plus it doesnt have all the fillers that the ultimate polish does. If you use the M105. You HAVE to follow it with the M205. You should only have to use the M105 ONCE on the car. Then wash it properly with the 2 bucket method so you don't put swirl markes back on the paint. If you use the M105 I recommend getting a dual action polisher its safe for beginners. I got mine from harbor freight. It works great just change the backing plate to a 5" and dont buy their pads I got mine from chemical guys.

Yes. Even a brand new car will have impurities on its surface. Consider how log it takes to get it to a dealer from the factory; then it sits on the dealer's lot gathering dust, even if the dealer doesn't put any garbage wax on it.....It's always advisable to apply a thin (!!!) layer of Klasse AIO before using the glaze.

You are not doing anything wrong.....hhhmmmm. If this stuff is not working then I recommend you go and get these two items....carburetor cleaner OR WD-40. I had a few spots that were tough to get off on my car and the carburetor cleaner took it right now. Oh, and it won't damage any painted or plastic areas. If you don't feel comfortable with that try the WD-40. Let it set for a couple of minutes and then try to wipe off. I hope this helps!

Didn't have the problem, waxed everything before use but doubt that would have solved your problem. have had great experience with INCRA customer service, call them.

This is polish not wax.. It helps take out swirl marks and heavy water spots. I always do this first then I apply carnauba turtle wax after I finish polishing and make sure you remove the polish the same way you would wax a car. After your done polishing and then wax your car it will look like brand new.

I have had problems using this product, never a spot. However, I have no idea what you used so could not say with certainty that this product will correct spots caused by the product you used. I do feel it's worth a try, cheaper than trading cars!

No touch ups yet. I've driven the car to the top sail island in nc recently, then back to stl. No chips, no wear, no fading. But remember, it's a matte so it needs a nice shine once in a while (normally just rinse with water). The car's been thru the automatic car wash as well, and still holding up just fine. :)

The preperation of the paint is the most important step. Using it on my wife's car, 2005 model, and the car is still in showroom condition. Wax goes on nicely, apply only in one direction, polish it up with a microfiver cloth and use a second one to buff it to a beautiful sheen. Gives great depth to the paintwork and gives that nice wet look. works even better when applied with a polisher, I use an orbital polisher. Waxing is the final step to achieve the wet look finish. Wax doesn't last as long as sealants/polishes. I'm a bit of a detailing nut, so I apply wax every week when washing the car. I've noticed that it is still effective after a month and still gives that nice beading effect in the rain. Another bonus of this product, during normal weekly commuting, especially in the rain, the car seems to stay cleaner for longer as the dirt battles to find grip on the super slippery surface. I've tried various products and am very happy with P21S - finally found the rpoduct that I'll stick with. I also use Autoglym Super Resin Polish as the sealant, Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish as the polish. Don't forget to clay the vehicle at least once every six months to get rid of all the oxidation and garbage that collects on the paintwork. Chemical Guys have some nice products for dark coloured vehicles like yours. Hope the info helped.

It will help to a point. Faded black cars show oxidation very easily and probably require a multistep process of rubbing compound, polish and wax to restore the finish.
