isnt smearing usually from an uncured buff? once its curred it cant be pushed around.

Many waxes will do this, which annoys me to no damn end. Depends a lot on the humidity outside and how warm it is. Haven't had any issues so far this year though.

What I do on my personal vehicles is give it an AW wipe down after having buffed the wax off about an hour or so later. You don't want to do it immediately after because the wax won't have time to cure and you'll end up wiping most of it off.

This is what lead me to buy a few bottles of FG. Usually, I'll wax and be done for the day waiting for the wax to cure. I'll see the smears the next day and be upset. I think I'll add a chilled FG wipe down after 3hrs and see if this takes care of it.

Tell me about it, I'm in Texas...

Just to clarify here, the smears present themselves after a few hours and once you wipe with FG they will not come back right? Even if the humidity is high?

Yes, back when I used to have this issue all the time I would usually notice it the next day after it has been driven and by that time you cannot just go over it with Field Glaze since you have already driven it and it has road dust on it. I would have to live with it until its next wash which was usually 1 week. All my cars that are driven are usually washed on a weekly basis.

I completely agree with you. You cannot see it the day itself, usually later on that day or the next day. That's why I always would play it safe, park the vehicle inside for a few hours, then go over it with AW. Worked a treat, but extra annoying work nonetheless. As much as I love Pete's '53, it would be notorious for doing it on my truck.

So you're supposed to park the vehicle inside away from sunlight rather than outside to let it sweat?
