I used this to remove bug splatter from the car. I did not notice any removal of wax but I suspect anything that works this effectively on hardened bug splatter would have an effect on wax also. I would recommend re-waxing that portion of the car where it is used. The chrome should be safe as it is harder than the wax on the paint. A little wax on the chrome would not hurt though, and keeping a good coat of wax if good to protect the paint, it also helps to keep other stuff from sticking to the chrome. If you do not remove the splatter from the paint it will do damage the paint, so better to remove it and re wax the panels where you use the product.

I have used this product, following directions to the letter, on everything but the awning of my Winnebago View; metal, fiberglass, chrome, headlamps, etc, without any ill effects. It is far more effective than any other bug and tar removal product I have used. Only hassle is when a second treatment is needed (IE after three weeks on the road). It works best when applied to a dry surface so one must dry or wait to dry before applying second time.

As a polish, it is intended to come off. It is not a wax or protectant. A good coat of wax should follow the polishing step you use this product for.

It souldn't if ther is some adhesive left behind just clean it with adhesive remover. Haven't removed mine but have dealt with adhesive, chrome or paint before. Hope this helps

This product works well on recommended surfaces however I am not sure if automobiles are recommended. Also, you don't say if you are referring to the painted finish or chrome finish on the car. Nonetheless, there is a telephone number on the bottle that you can call and they will probably be able to answer your question. Good Luck!

I used alcohol and patch cloths to degrease. Wipe with clean cloth. Then apply wax immediately. Most degreasers should do fine so long as they don't etch (obviously). The longer the metal is unprotected the more likely it will corrode / tarnish. Work in small areas is safest.

Hello, I've used on my new guitar, but I'm not sure if this will clean up wax. Try google for that information. Thanks,Leo.

No it doesn't. The more I washed my car, I begin not liking this soap for several reasons. It leaves the windows soap/Water spots. Even after I rinsed it off several times. It takes the car wax off too.

This is made to clean and polish chrome. It will even remove light rust and pitting. I use it on almost every part on my motorcycle.

You do not need to wax after it's applied. It will leave a very nice protective shine that will mirror images back at you. Great product! I will purchase again...

Stainless steel it will work on, but know that it will not chrome it. And yes, it will slowly strip any kind of paint off, it is a polish, not a wax, meaning it makes things cleaner by stripping layers of damage off.

Very good. I am fixing some scratches and swirl marks. First, you clean the car with a waterless solution in the winter or garden hose in the summer and dry with a microfiber towel. Second, you put the Meguiar cleaner wax on with a polishing pad and buff the water spots gently. Third, you clean the residuals from buffing.

Pretty simple really...this is not a wax. It does not coat the car with a protection like a wax does. It's more of a quick cleaner slash shine rejuvenator. It goes on and comes off much easier than a wax product. It's to be used in between waxing. Although I have used it right after waxing as well to take out any smudges or streaking. It's more of a finishing product in my mind. Hope that cryptic response helps.

I would give the car a very good wash first to remove as much of the mold and mildew as possible. Remember this wax has a very fine abrasiveness to it and I can see it removing mold/mildew but I would go easy with it at first. For best results us a buffing drill that has low RPM's, take your time and with a little patients I'm sure your cars finish will look great.

I would believe it would as I have used it on stainless steel facets in my home, however not on my automobiles as of yet. The label states it is safe and effective (shining, cleaning, etc.) on bumpers and chrome -- even fiberglass parts -- so, I would think it would be fine. It certainly works on gold and silver items, as I have used it on my jewelry and my wife's (even on a bracelet of hers that is steel wire and 14 Carrot Gold --so, give it a shot. I really like this stuff. I would note the it is a bit unusual to use, but once you get used to the hang of it, it does the job(s). Hope this helps you.

While the Lincoln is still dealer clean, I'd put 2 or 3 coats of Collinite Insulator wax waiting a few days between applications. I find that gives a great finish that lasts all through brutal winters and hot summers, washes clean easily, while also cutting down on road rash chips 'n' scratches in the clearcoat. Just my $.02.

This product is safe on all colors. Streaking is normal. If u don't have patience you should not be washing or waxing your own vehicle. high streaking is cause by over spray. This is perfectly fine. continue to buff the spot by hand with a cloth/towel (paint safe) and the streaking will go away. Keep in mind if your doing this in the sun it will take more time and patience to remove. My best advice is to wash in direct sunlight pull into a shaded area, and wait for paint to cool down. Lightly mist the spraywax one panel at a time. Use cloth (paint safe) to rub in and spread then use dry side to buff.

Scott, I still really like this product. It has been 6 months now and I use speed shine every time I take my new car for a drive. First I use the California car duster to get the dust off and any bugs not glued on. Then spot clean with Griot's speed shine. It quickly removes the bugs, finger prints, and any tire overspray. On average I am done in under 3 minutes. I finish with the windows. If the shine is not super brilliant I use a little Zymol glaze to punch it up, usually once a month, after cleaning with griot's. Now I started with a good hand wash and waxed it with zymol wax to get a good base coat. It has been 45oo miles and 6 months later and I have not water washed my car or re-waxed and it looks show room clean. I keep the car in a garage. Just finishing spring and lots of bugs especially bees and it is still my favorite spot cleaner. I do use Griot's green spray cleaner when the bugs are especially thick (can't tell what color the car is under them) Seems to be a little better at dissolving mass bugs. But I use the less expensive Speed Shine almost everyday for quick touch ups. I only spot clean, sometimes use it on the wheels, and clean the front around the grill to keep my new car brilliant. I usually run the California duster over the car just before driving and it brings out the luster and gets rid of any dust. You can definitely see a difference. I am still getting lots of comments about how great the car looks (shiny and clean). I have not notice any scratches from cleaning the car this way. I use a soft hand and the rags that Griot's sells with the product. They are an improvement over cleaning clothes I have used in the past. Hope that helps.
