Hey all, like the title says I've been finding that my hood has some ugly hazing on my newly waxed hood (after being driven for a couple days). If i rub it with a microfiber towel it goes away but then it's rough like there's no wax there and there's no shine.

I use "Technician's Choice TEC22 purple premium finishing wax" applied by hand. I can only assume the engine heat is affecting it cause the hood does get very very hot and the rest of the car is fine.

I'd appreciate it if any one could shed any light on what's happening and a solution if possible thx.

yup, heat and humidity kills wax. If you use 100% carnuauba wax, it will be gone in no time.

I would suggest a better wax. I use Meguiars NXT, and I live in FL and have never had any problems. Time to upgrade

Agree. There a types of wax that are suitable for show cars. They leave a beautiful shine, but are not durable. So you have several choices:

Wax frequently.
Pick a more durable synthetic wax.

LOL, for all of you guys saying zaino, it's really no difference. Hood produce more heat than other body parts. It will do the same thing. You guys are just buying overpriced products.

I beg to differ sir. My car has never "sweated off" the wax. Zaino isn't a wax that will "melt" under heat (whether from the sun or a hot hood).

I've never had a hazing effect as referred to by th OP. He clearly states that he has hazing that when wiped off creates an area that feels like no wax is on it.

The Zaino I put on the car stays there and only comes off only if I use a clay bar or Dawn dish soap.

As for cost, Zaino is easy to apply, uses only 1 oz. to do the entire car, and has a shine that nets many compliments. Worth every penny...

HAve you tried the new spray detailer. z-8 I think. Ive stopped using zaino although I liked the look of it and moved onto meguiars #26 and find it produceses a better deeper shine on my white.

Fixed.

Sorry, had too!


I have used Z8 and the shine really looks the same. I save it for shows SINCE IT COSTS A SMALL FORTUNE.

Zaino, Menzerna FMJ, Blackfire, Klasse, Autoglym, Jeff Werkstat are all synthetic polymer products that do not contain wax, they are a water based acrylic polymer. Far superior to any wax!!!!!!!

Well, i've applied a coat of meguire's liquid wax. and it isn't even close to the shine of my technician's choice wax. so i've decided to compromise by using the meguires on the hood and the carnuauba wax on the rest of the car.

Also, would putting the more heat sensitive (but better looking) carnuauba wax on over an existing coat of meguire's wax work? haha or would the heat still destroy it in the same way as before?
