Mothers California Gold Brazilian Carnauba Cleaner Wax Liquid (16 oz.)

A:

No, this Mothers California Gold Brazilian Carnauba Cleaner Wax Liquid (16 oz.) (Part No. 05701) will not become hard after treatment. Follow these tips for better results: Try to avoid washing a car in direct sunlight, and never wash a car that's hot. Hose down the vehicle with a thick, strong stream of water (but not a narrow jet). Concentrate on loosening dirt and unwanted buildup. If using a bucket of soapy water have it ready before you move on to wetting the vehicle down. You shouldn't let any water dry on the paint while filling up the bucket. If it's unusually hot or you must wash your car in the sun, be sure to keep it wet and cool with regular spraying of water.
*Don't use the drying towels to remove dirt that you missed while washing—you risk scratching your paint.
*Don't use a natural or synthetic chamois for everyday drying. The chamois material, especially a natural chamois, develops a large amount of friction when being pulled across your paint, almost to the point of suction. The problem: this "dragging traction" is sufficient enough to distort and/or strip wax from your paint. Also, there is very little nap to a chamois (synthetic or natural), so any particles not washed off have a higher chance of being rubbed directly onto the paint and causing scratches and swirl marks. They were great in the old days, but modern paints are best left to a quality microfiber drying towel.
*Don't use squeegees as they can pick up dirt and drag it through your paint for as long as you wipe. So unless you're dealing with glass, don't squeegee.
*Be sure to use limited amounts of detergent when washing cotton car towels, and don't dry them with fabric softener—it leaves trace chemicals in the towels that can contaminate your wax. Also, a hot wash with a cold rinse for your cotton towels can help reduce lint.
