Wax removal

[jimmy-s3]

After polishing my car and waxing it, I'm struggling to remove the wax. I normally just use a microfibre cloth by hand to remove the wax..
Do people normally use a wool head on a machine polisher to remove wax?

Sounds like you might have applied too much wax. Shouldn't be too difficult to remove otherwise. Keep turning your cloth to avoid it getting clogged up and use a decent microfiber cloth to remove it. Probably gonna need to use some force too!!

Definitely not putting too much on..
It just seems to stick well to the paint?

What wax is it?

Cold weather can make it more difficult sometimes.

[xjay1337]

you almost are certainly putting too much on.

depends too on what wax you are using, cure times etc.
some are easier than others.

FK you can leave for a good hour especially in the cold and it's OK... crystal rock or something you can leave on overnight if you were a numpty!! where as say collinite 476s you need to only leave on for about 5-10 minutes and again thin coats..

It's meguires tech wax. The Weather was cool and the wax was left on around 20mins max.

Some waxes just don't agree with being applied to cold bodywork in cold conditions , the instructions will probably state to apply to cool bodywork out of direct sunlight

Try applying it thinner and leave on less time , try no more than 5-10 mins then take off , and make sure the micro fibre cloth is properly clean and free from contaminates or a new one

As above, each wax/sealant has its own properties which affect application, curing and buffing. I once left collinite 476s on for around 30 mins. It was a PITA to buff off and I probably inflicted more swirls. With 476s and fk1000p, I apply onto 1-2 panels (depending on climate), move on to the next and then buff off the first. With something like Autofinesse, I've had to leave it on 30 mins before it's ready to buff off.
