Ok this is what happened, my buddies civic has dull paint on the hood and roof of his car…so I wanted to try to wax his hood to see if i could make it look a little better, not knowing that I shouldn’t wax flat paint…Anyways, the result of this is that once I rubbed the wax off, if left a residue which is very noticeable and White, basically the circles from rubbing the wax on are all still there, but it does not rub off??? we tried everything from using a harsh soap, scrubbing it really hard, pressure washer, I have no idea of how to get rid of this, does anyone have any suggestions that can help me out lol thanks a lot! Adam. ---

no clue how to get it off but maybe wetsand with 1200 grit then buy this stuff thats basicly a reallly fine grit sandpaper but comes in a bottle and you buff it in. I think you can get it in 1500,1800 2000 grit etc. We did this in school a year ago i was surprised it brought the gloss back on a pure flat red car that looked like there was no clear at all. ---

uhm for dull faded paint,use jewlers rouge, AKA rubbing compound, then wax… now you’ve gotta work twice as hard to remove the wax ---
