Default AG HD Wax is giving me problem

In my past attempts of applying the AG HD Wax on various cars, it always seems to have some hazy or patches finishes on the hood.

In my past attempt, i tried to apply the wax as evenly and lightly as possible and followed the instruction on the box to leave it on 10-15mins before buffing away but it doesn work, i tried a second application on the hood but there is still those hazy or patches after buffing it away. It is so irritating!

I understand about the wax 'sweating', but is there any easier ways or techniques to solve this, meaning to say applying the wax and buff it away once without any problems? Anybody successfully 'handled' this wax before? Help me or I Gonna burn the wax!!!

Try to wipe over with a Quick detailer after 2-3 hours.

I've used mine regularly since I got it without issue. I have a tendency to aply waxes tthicker than I should but if I let it dry, it always comes off without issue. I have used mine in high heat as well. Is it humid there?

yes a wipe down would help.. but you might have come type of cleaner residue under the wax or just might have not gotten all the wax off during buffing to leave the sealed and hardened wax below. it i would say is the most common issue when too much wax has been applied. it's tough to get it all off sometimes

Humidity can really increase curing times. Try leaving for 40mins to an hour.

If stubborn to remove use aqd or water spritz; don't rub too hard in case you marr the surface.

You can leave the wax on for as long as you need to in order for it to dry. I have found that I can apply this wax to the entire outside of a large truck before buffing off and it comes off easily. Its kind of like a sealant in that the longer you leave it to dry, the easier it comes off.
