Sorry for the post that is meant to be in the detailing section, but theres way more audience on this thread and I know i'll get a good response
2 months ago I had an incident in the rain with road works that splattered tar up my car like mud, and it took a whole 1L bottle of Trix to remove! Long story short, it also removed my rust spots (oxidation is the right term yes?) from the train ride over from the factory. So I decided to wax it too after that was done...
Only 2 months on, the car hasn't had many miles put on it, driven in the rain probably once and there is no tar - but my water isn't beading anymore and the wax seems to have worn off, so i would like to wax it again sometime when it's an overcast day (not hard in Britain) but I don't want to spend hours and hours when the car is fine.
Theres no point prepping the paint again as theres just no contaminants, so i'm just wanting to know if it's safe to wax it again? I know that sounds silly, but I don't know if technically you could wipe dirt and anything else all around the paint when waxing it without prepping, my car hasn't got a swirl mark and I want to keep it that way, so even if it's a stupid question at least I know i'll be safe or not safe!
Cheers for the replies.
Oh, P.S - of course i'll wash it first before I wax it, I don't want to make out I'm asking if I can wax it when it's dirty as that'd be just silly
