Accidentally Applying Leather/Vinyl/Rubber Wax on Paint

Hi:

I accidentally applied vinyl/leather/plastic wax on my car body paint after I washed my car. So far I did not see any abnormalities however the car has a silver color so some abnormalities may not be visible.

Will this damage the paint in the long run? Should I wash the car again to remove it? I actually used Turtle Wax F21 wax (liquid spray) for vinyl/leather/plastic.


Thanks,
Jim

Soo you used interior wax on the paint, and the exterior wax on the seats? You must have had alot on your mind.. i would be more concerned with the interior.. the outside just wash it and youll be fine.

I only waxed the exterior with vinyl/leather/plastic wax. I did not do anything to the interior (luckily).

Thanks

just wash the car you will be fine. but if you are waxing the car i would pass a clay bar first then wax it comes out real smooth.
