Cam, what muffler do you have there? I did mine for 8 hours including interior detailing, wash, clay, polish and wax. My hands are falling off after all those works. When I buffed my NXT 2.0 wax, I saw some kind of spots (as if you got some kinda chemical on your paint) and it's tough to buff. Is it because I let them dry too long???
Also, I clayed my windshield and it gives me a lot of scratches. how to remove that too??

| When I find something hard to buff off, it's usually because I've put it on too thick. Most waxes (and sealants like NXT) will be easier to remove if you put on a really thin, even coat. Think about it: you put it on, let it haze, then wipe almost all of it back off - so what's the point slathering it on? You'll just waste product, waste time waiting for the thick layer to dry, and work harder taking it off.
For the spots, not sure what that could be - were they there before you waxed? Could they be waterspots or bird bombs? Tar, sap, bug guts? What did you use to polish? Was the NXT totally hazed dry before you took it off or was it still smeary? Quote:

| If you washed first and used clay lube, I'm not sure how you could possibly scratch the glass by claying, it's much harder than your paint. Because it's so hard, I don't think there's any easy way for you to remove the scratches yourself.
Also, we're way off-topic in here, you might want to start a new thread if you have any more Q's...
