Hi all, i recently bought a new maxima and decided to wax if for the first time.



I followed the instructions and aited it to haze then buffed out with a clean 100% cotton terry towel goin in a light back ad forth motion.



It seemed to be working fine but when i woke up this morning I noticed a fine dust all over the car which would have to be the wax.



btw i was using Mothers Carnuba Wax.



any tips would be very helpful as i am a newb and this is the first car i have ever really cared for )
 
Excessive dusting is almost always due to using too much product. Next time use a very little amount of wax and apply it evenly over a small area. You can wipe off the dust with some quick detail spray and a clean towel, or one of those Calif car dusters.



If you are new to serious car care I highly recommend purchasing the Autopia Guide to Detailing. It will teach you a lot about how to car for your car properly. The first 8 chapters are free so download it at www.autopia-carcare.com and have a look.

Also make sure you aren't using those cheap bulk so-called 100% cotton terry towels made outside the US. They tend to be very abrasive and leave tons of lint everwhere.



If you're using the Mothers pure carnauba wax you might want to use their glaze as well first to make it look even better. :)
 
Just QD and you should be fine, as long as it is just dust.



Dust is going to be attracted to a freshly waxed car, its just how it works.
