Its a pretty simple question, can it go bad? I had applied a coat of Meguiars Gold Class wax the other day and was going to go ahead and apply a coat of NXT. But, I went ahead and by the time I was even doing one panel, it was so hard to get off. Literally, it took about 30 minutes to get all of the wax off of the tailgate. I thought maybe it could be the humidity. But, I've waxed my truck when it was much worse outside.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Sure...it can go bad... this is typically a separation of the product and it cannot be reblended with simple shaking.

As for your removal problems... a couple of thoughts...

1. You applied it too thick.
2. Humidity - Dry times will vary GREATLY with high humidity and thus, removal times will vary as well.
3. Bad bottle.
4. Earth and moon alignment - if it's greater than 32% of an angle to the third moon in Jupiter's gravitational pull, well, it makes it tough to remove.

Sure wax can "go bad." For instance, J-Wax Kit, Rain Dance and many of those "miracle waxes" you see on TV come "bad" right from the factory.

 

i bring my wax inside the house during the winter so it doesn't freeze. i think that has a bad effect on liquid waxes. this should not be a problem in central florida though.

see ya - oaw

 

SHort and simple RP is right on. Yes it can go bad. With high hummitdity on a black truck, your dry time will be significantly longer. This will make it harder to remove and it will try and leave streaks

 

Hell yeah it can go bad. My dad has a blue glass container of wax from the 60's that he refuses to throw away because he likes the jar. It's rock hard and dried out. It looks like the salt flats out in the dessert.

 

Sounds like all of the wax my dad owns. He buys it cause it's on sale, and then he lets it sit in the garage forever. Usually the bottles crack when you squeeze them.

 

Well, I was using NXT which isn't a liquid wax. But, like I said the Meguiars Gold Class, which is a liquid wax, went on and off AMAZING compared to the NXT. Now, I don't know if it was a bad can or if thats just how it is. I don't remember the NXT being nearly as bad on my Arizona Beige as on my Black. .

 

Heh...Welcome to the club amigo. Black is a pain to maintain correctly.

 

You can get NXT in liquid and Gold Class in paste....

My paste Gold Class was harder to remove than the liquid when I waxed a couple of weeks ago. I think the change in humidity from one day to the next made all the difference in the world. I had to wait nearly 30 minutes for the carnuba to set up properly.

 

I know this but was simply stating that the NXT Im currently using is NOT a liquid but rather a paste and the Gold Class was a liquid.

 

I have some Zaino for my S-10 that looks similiar to oil and vinegar in the bottle. It's about 5 years old now. Last time I used it I just shook it well, and it worked great. Not like paste waxes that dry up in FL garage heat. I store my wax and clay indoors now though.

 

You could wax the az beige with cow shat and it turn out good results. Black is a whole new ball game.

When waxing the red on my truck then waxing the lower az beige the beige requires very little effort compared to the red.

 

There's the understatement of the day!

 

I have tried NXT paste twice on my black truck and it streaks. I have better luck with other Meguire waxes. Almost bought a bottle of Mother's Cleaner Wax Liquid last night. How is that one?
