OK after i take my buffer to my car when i wax it.(its an electric one) There is always a lot of wax residue/dust left on the car.

How does everyone deal with this if it happens to them??? I am just really curious on how to take care of this because it drives me nuts.

Thanks

I like the Zaino spray - but I'm not sure how that would work if you're not using all Zaino products. I'm sure whatever brand you're using has a spray detailer as well - just follow up with that and it should get rid of the wax dust as well as enhance the shine from the wax.

If you mean a lot of residue on the car in the cracks:
Break out an old toothbrush and get scrubbing.

If it's because there's a lot of build up, I'd wash the car with Dawn, or if you want to play it safe, get some paint conditioner and a clay bar. There's instructions on the N-body.net site (that I wrote no less), just make sure you start that with a good and clean car first, and also make sure that you're in a cool space, and if you can help it, make sure its either overcast, or you've got a solid roof over your head.

Best time to do the claying is mid-spring, and late-fall.

After you clay the car (follow the directions) put on a good coat of Carnuba wax for the spring or 2-3 coats of turtle wax in the winter (if you have snow/salt on the roads).
