Hi guys,

Just got my new Infrared RC 350 F Sport 2 days ago. Drove it back and my overly enthusiastic dad put the wrong type of wax on it.

It was a Turtle Wax with sun protectant for plastic, vinyl, and rubber. I noticed the next day and freaked out...so i tried to get it out with the right type of exterior wax...

I'm having a bit of a nervous breakdown that it's going to destroy the paint...what should i do?

Thanks,
Angela

I'm not a detail expert bit my recommendation would be to clay the car and also use a good paint cleanser. refer to this link.....https://www.autogeek.net/prewaxpolishes.html.

Then apply the correct high-quality wax. Good luck!

You're likely fine... next steps - clean and start over.

I would proceed with a proper new car detail which will begin with a thorough car wash utilizing a stronger concentration of the car shampoo of your choice. Follow that with proper paint decontamination using a clay bar. Then a nice light polish will remove any residual waxes/products that may remain on the surface. Next, apply the protection of your choice.

If you're not familiar with these processes, check out the Detailed Image Detailing Guide.

If you have any questions, let me know
