Yesterday I attempted to wax my mother's 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL. It was pretty weird weather wise. Rainy and foggy outside. Inside the garage the floor had lots of condensation, but it was a comfortable temperature. I applied the wax and it did not dry to a haze. I put a dehumidifier in the garage before I went home for the night. This morning, the wax still hadn't dried, so I turned on the heat in the garage, set it to 70° F. What can I do? It's a black car and it look horrible.

Wipe it off?

You didn't wipe the wax off after you applied it…..?


A day later…..??



Just redo the whole deal when the sun comes out…...

I've tried to wipe it off with 3 different types of towels.

Clean good quality microfiber towels and detail spray.

If it won't come off then I would clay bar to strip off the old wax.

No, it just spreads it around.

Thank you. I'll try that.

Angle grinder will cut right through stubborn wax.

Turn the car on inside the garage for 1 hour per part humidity. This works. For example, if it is 85% humidity INSIDE the garage, leave the car running for 85 hours.

Have a body shop paint it for you.

Wipe down, vigorously with fresh brake fluid.

If your pressed for time, try a heat gun:
