Ever since i waxed my car,like everyday by the end of the day i get this sorta maybe orange(hard to explain color) looking residue on my car. you cant tell its there unless u look ata certain angle and up close,so it doesnt really bug me ,i just wipe my car down with a rag every day or so and its fine but im just curious what it is!

i use some xaranuba wax from murrays,it works great,and car stays smooth. i dont know,its not exactly orange. the color is hard to explain.

I'd switch brand. I use Zymol and 3M 39006 on my white RX300. Never a problem.

hmm im starting to think it has nothing to do with the wax,its all over my car even uinwaxed areas. its like dust particles that are orange. i dont know wtf it is,but its really annoying b\c it takes me like 10 minutes to wipe it all off my car,and it just comes back lik later in the day.

Sounds like you are describing pollen. It is that season.

Either pollen or more likely metal particle fallout from the big car plants. Their dust can go miles and miles, and when it gets on your car it can start to rust making a bunch of tiny orange spots.

I am in Elyria with my LS400 and I had to clay bar it after 3 weeks up here. The particles had embedded in the paint and would not come off with anything but claybar.

I have the same problem, I live in central california, the agricultrual capitol of the world they say, But it really is just a big valley full of pollen, dirt and crud in the air. I will wash my car and then the next morning I have a yellow but slight orange cast power over the entire car, I just use my california car duster, and whola, my precious is back. I now just cover my car at night, it seem the pollen is more active at night here. Or maby its cause the car sits more at night so it cant blow off.
