    usually too much application or left on too long

    it sounds like you might just have product left on the paint and aren't getting full removal. This is just judging by how you said you move it around when you use distilled water and QD.

    so what do i do?

    seems like oils staining my paint that hasnt dried completely

    basically my car is shiny now but under sunlight it has these 'movable' swirls

    i called my local swissvax dealer... he told me its the cleaner fluid applied unevenly resurfacing...

    is it true?

    Is it just me, or are there more and more people compaining about the SV products causing hazing and holigrams... I know I've personally seen it.

    Is there something wrong with some product, or are there just a lot of new people using it improperly?

    Guys guys guys! Its just the wax sweating, the oils gets up to the surface when it is left in the sun. Haven`t you read the jar? It says leave it in the sun for 3-4 hours, then go over with quick finish and a mf. When you do that, you will remove the "holograms!. You can use what ever QD you have. Even dodo juice supernatural does this ;)

    Go over the car with a QD and a microfiber towel.

    Let us know if it worked!

    just tried...dont seem to work... tried megs QD and SV quick finish

    seems like im still smudging the finish

    will wait till tommorow i will wash the car down and reapply QD...

    encountered this before?

    is it true this is due to cleaner fluid not being let to dry completely?

    in that case did i just wasted my waxes ....sigh

    Strange. ITs normal to get "holograms" after leaving a fresh layer of a high end wax in the sun. But it should be gone after QD and mf. On the bottle of cleaner fluid it says not to let dry.

    Apply the cleaner fluid and try again.

    My Smargrd did the same thing... I literally had to rip it back off and re-apply.

    Nothing I did took the wax holigrams out.

    I don't know but from the sounds of it, I would start from ground zero and try again.

    just wondering...are u suppose to rewash the car after cleaner fluid?



    or right after cleaner fluid just apply the wax...



    i did the latter... a friend of mine tell me otherwise...washing after cleaner fluid is necessary..
