Wax, I should have known better !

[jerseyguy123]

I have a 2019 Lincoln MKC that is mint. After a car wash I decided to wax my hood. I should have known better, the hood was in the sun
and was blazing hot. I tried waterless car wash and shine, all it did was make blotches. I tried isopropyl and it took off some of the wax.
I tried dawn dishwashing liquid and it took off a lot, but not all, of it. I know I messed up, how can I Fix it?? Thank you~

Dawn will get it off. Just use a pretty heavy concentration

Light polishing compound.

Get it in a shady spot and wash it again with Dawn.

You probably should have did decontamination and or clay bar previously, then it's recommended to wash again follow by polish, wax etc but that's water under the bridge now. Cloudy days are best for application yet most risky also.

Huh?

Dawn is for dishes. Isopropyl should be diluted or it will just flash off and move the wax around.

Wash and dry the car normally. It will come off.

3M prep solvent...

Huh?

Maybe because if it's like the weather here, it can either break full sun or full storm with little to no warning/forecast? My guess as to what he meant.

Dawn doesn't do anything. Don't use it. It's also not good for your plastic trim.

If you want a dedicated product that will strip existing protection try Poorboy's World Strip Down or Kamikaze's new product that can remove most sealants and even some weak coatings.

*You shouldn't need these though for just a normal wax so I'd just wash it again. Preferably with a soap like Reset.
