I use a very very light spray of water here or there when doing the final buff seems to work wonders for me dont know if its quite the correct thing to do tho???

Yes it is like a greasey haze

I get it too... what are you using? I have been using meguiars polish but am thinking of changing it... It doesnt matter how hard or long I rub it for it makes no difference

when i was using megs stuff i used to get this too so i started using the quick detailer
Meguiars Quik Detailer - Meguiars Car Care and Detailing Products
when removing the stuff or after i had removed it and my probs were sorted

i have recently moved onto the jeffs acrylic system and i cant fault it

I stopped using meguiars years ago coz of this,havent touched their polish/waxes since though gotta be honest only place i seemed to notice it on mine were on the bonnet(bonnet were cold before anyone states the obvious)dont get it with anyone elses stuff weirdly.

gold class can go greasy on dark cars from previous experiance, it just means you have to much on, and need to buff more

never had a problem with NXT tech wax?

Sounds like your either applying 2 much or not working the product for the correct amount of time (especially in this cold weather)… using a last touch spray would work tho.

I use autoglym think it's time i changed thanks for the advice guys and gals

what autoglym is it,a and what cloths do u use. auto glym super glym polish 2 is the one 2 buy, but u need 2 go to autoglym direct, cant buy it in shops, n also get the autoglym polishing cloths, we use them in work, vauxhall body repairer. no streaks, or haze, really good mirror finish.

Usually a quick wipe down with a good quick detailer will do the trick and get rid of smears left over from the polishing and/or protecting stages. Polishing smears tend to be leftover polishing oils, whereas wax smears can be just that - excess wax - that still needs to be buffed off. Good quick detailers for general use over all finishes are Meguiars Quik Detailer and Meguiars Last Touch.
