Ive noticed sumthing a bit strange with my Meguire's Nxt Gen Tech Wax. I find that after waxing about half a car or so, the applicator pad/sponge becomes quite wet, i could squeeze it n water would dribble out, not wax but clearish dribbles of water. Has anyone else who uses Meguires found the same thing? I didnt think that water would be an additive to a waxing product, its suppose to repel water if anything. How is this possible?

is you stuff old?

my friend noticed this after leaving it overnight with the lid dopen

Nope brand new, well 3mths old. Unless its been sitting in the Super Cheap Autos shelf for an extremely long period of time. Ive noticed this the last 3 times ive used it from new.

I think if u leave it sitting for awhile then pour some out without shaking first, u'll also notice a light film of water/clear that comes out of the bottle first.

yeh thats pretty normal. i waxed mine yesterday for the first time in a while n i forgot to shake it

so yeh the water came out.

its fine after a good shake

Yeah but do u find that after waxing say half a car or so that the applicator sponge is wet? Like i can squeeze my spoonge n water would dribble out, i just find that odd since its a wax, a product thats sppose to repel water. Its almost seems like water is actually been added to the Tech Wax, bizarre!!

i never thought about squeezing the pad.

ive used heaps of waxes and ive found the tech wax to be the 'wettest'

most waxes i have kinda dry and polish off easily but tech wax stays slightly wet n it takes more effort to polish off

basti - have you noticed that there's always water under the trims, and stuff like that. I've found that drying it can't even get this water out.

What I do, is I let the car dry for a few days. Then I use a blow gun to make sure there's no dust on it, then i wax it.

yeah dude, no matter if i open all the doors (inc bonnet and boot and the petrol flap)and even the mirrors to dry everything i can with a rag i still cant get rid of all the water. my car is a daily so i cant really wait days for it to dry. the best i can do is a good hard punt from the carwash home and a very gentle wipe with a microfibre cloth. then wax. helps a fair bit but not ideal nd im not satisfied but what can ya do?

i find the result is livable and looks after my paint well enough that i can really make it look WOW when i wanna put in effort later

ive had this happen with the gold class and deep crystal polish too. to the point it leaves streaks of water with the wax. hmmm.... might it be because i dont dry my car properly? i wonder? :(

Yea i find the same, water streaks with the wax which is why i squeeze the pad to get rid of excess fluid/water. Maybe it is the leftover water from the wash like u guys mentioned coz it is hard to get rid of the water in some areas. R32woohoo - Tech wax is also the wettest wax ive used, most others have a creamier consistency.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.

      RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Interesting. I've not dived into the cleanliness of the factory CAS. I'm curious if the variations are less of an issue if the OEM sensor were brand new. Optical sensors if they're starting to get dirt and crap into them as they're getting older would definitely cause issues as they age.   It's an interesting point to keep in the back of mind for me though

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. Tough one. Without knowing where the conductivity value is supposed to sit, it's hard to know whether a standard DMM set to an available ohms setting would be able to measure anything. Ohms being the inverse of what we're talkng about and probably good enough for the girls I go out with. But if you want to go all hoity toity with a 4 wire rig - go ahead. It can only be more accurate - just in case more accuracy or repeatability turns out to be required. If you're going to the effort, just go chuck the ohm-mage probes into the car's reservoir and see if you can measure anything at all?
