Default Problem with Meguiar's Ultimate Quik wax

We washed and waxed the Lexus 2 weeks ago. We cleaned outside today with Meguair's Quik Detail.

After doing this, I decided to put the Ultimate Quik Wax on. This caused issues. It was like the Quik Wax would leave light off white film on my Obsidian color Convertible. I sprayed Quik detail over this "film" and it came off.

Where did I go wrong? Is Meguair's Ultimate Wax not compatible with the Meguair's Ultimate detail?

Looking for answer's.

I use both products and have never had a problem. I haven't used the wax immediately after the detailer l, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem.

One of them, maybe the detailer, says OK to use in the sun, and the other says use on a cool surface. Maybe your cars paint was too hot?

I think the cloth may have been the slightest bit soiled. One thing I notice with the ultimate quick wax is that dew adheres to the paint more when I use it.

first off whenever you want to wax your car you wash it first. That day, not 2 weeks prior, lol. After dry you then apply the wax. You do not use quick detailer. that is only for after a couple days or so you want to wipe the car down to get dust or whatever off.

I think the UQD is supposed to be used after UQW. They have a video on Amazon explaining their 5 or 4-step process.

The Car was waxed 2 weeks ago with Megulair's Ultimate wax 2x AFTER washing it with Megulair's Ultimate Car wash.

The Car was CLEAN when I put the UQW on it. I happened to have a micro towel I believe contaminated with UQD. I was tired and made that mistake.


also.....

FWIW, I frequently find that I don't need to wash and use UQD to remove light dust and fingerprints. I then also usually follow with a UQW application which works perfectly. There is no compatibility issue with these.

As the OP posted, the issue was likely due to a contaminated MF towel.

Exactly; I am no expert when it comes to detailing BUT I would never wax a dirty car.

IMHO I find that Meguiar's NXT & Ultimate spray detal attracts a lot of dust.
For waxing Migliore Primo carnauba wax is outstanding.
