Freshly waxed with Turtle Ice, suddenly roof and trunk lid are foggy
So this has me very confused.
I just waxed Suzanne, my 2013 FR-S, with Turtle Ice Wax because I'd seen it recommended in a few posts around here. I waxed her at around 3pm, on a 50 degree sunny day here in Portland Oregon. The hood, sides, front and back all look fantastic.. BUT the roof, trunk, and spoiler tops all have this condensation constantly forming on them. What is going on? Only surfaces which face the sky are getting this foggy condensation, yet the hood is not getting any condensation. It's weird as hell, and I kept trying to buff and buff and buff and nothing is make this go away. It'll go away for like a minute and then instantly re-form. I swear this wasn't happening prior to waxing. Is this a Turtle Ice thing? A waxing thing? (my first time, Suze's is new to me). An atmospheric thing? |

Any time the temp gets into at least the 40s-50s Fahrenheit, I get condensation all over the windows. Waxed or not.

Not a TW Ice thing, IMO. Must be weather-related.
I used TW Ice Liquid Wax a while back on my new 2014 FRS and it's still looking and protecting like the first day I applied it. It was in 55 degree, clear weather, applied in full-sun. No wierd anything with my application. Here in MD we are in the middle of typical Winter weather and I can't wait for a warmer day in the 50's so I can wash "Sophie" and use Ice Spray Wax. I would research your observations on the 'net and you'll probably find that it's not product-specific, but more likely weather related. |
