This 4Runner was waxed by the owner who used boat & airplane wax on it then left it sit for a bit then tried to take it off with terry bath towels.

The towels were clean but terry is pretty abrasive'
I washed .. clayed then
- Optimum Hyper Compound on a cutting pad
- Optimum Compound on a cutting pad
-Optimum polish on a polishing pad
-Opti-Seal
- #21

Its not perfect but it was a mess

Stellar, seriously.

I guess one of the points the nube detailers should pick up on in this is not all old bath towels are suitable for wax/sealant removeal. This is pretty radical marring and shows up well on black but in essence you can be doing this to a lesser degree on a lighter colored car and never see it to this extent ..BUT.. it still there and degrades the polish/wax job you just did.

Order yourself some proper M/F towels for wax removal .. I'm sure Excell can set you up with a 1/2 doz or so .. or drop into Costco and get some .. quality might be down a bit but its a lot better than towels / diapers / rags for removal.

Any chance it was Collinite he originally put on the car?

Jesstzn

Nope

Is there an issue or concern about Collinite? Or are you just tying in the fact that the ower used boat/aviation wax?

WOW!!! That thing WAS a mess! Excellent work dude! How long did it take you to do that job?

I have a helper and it took us 6 hours including interior detail.

No Issue with Collinite, I am a huge fan. Just a reference to the boat/aviation wax remark, as I know Collinite is used in many different applications, including boats and planes.

I am a huge fan of 845IW.
