Question Wax buildup after driving in the rain?

I used Klasse AIO to wax my car 2 weeks ago. Last night I drove through a massive thunderstorm, and noticed this morning that there were streaks of residue all over my car which I presume is the AIO. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong with the way I'm applying the AIO? Maybe I'm using too much? Anyway to minimize this buildup?

Thanks

I think you are you suppose to use a light brush to brush away the wax residue, I read
it in a detailing book, but I never tried myself yet.

You may not have buffed off the AIO after applying.

Next time apply it and let it haze for a minute or so. Then go back and buff it off. After a few hours or later in the day use a QD and spray over the whole car.

Also, you should try Klasse SG over the AIO. It will provide good protection for a few months. If you are going to use the SG after the AIO, use the Sonus Acrylic Spritz as a QD in between the two products or even between coats of SG so you dont have to constantly wash your car.

AIO is a great cleaner but I would not use it as a standalone product for protection. Application is pretty much straightforward, it's really impossible to screw it up. I usually hand buff using two MF polishing towels, one to wipe the haze and the other follows up. I like topping it with S100 or Nattys.
