Friday Car Care Tip of the Week: The Swipe Test. This is a simple little test to determine if your wax has dried sufficiently and is ready to be wiped off. By simply making a quick swipe across the applied wax with your index finger you'll be able to determine if the wax is dry enough for removal or if you should wait a bit longer. If the swipe mark reveals a clear, shiny and glossy area then the wax is dry and ready for removal. If, on the other hand, you're seeing a streaky or smeared appearance in the swipe area, the wax needs more time to dry. Keep in mind this only works for waxes that are designed to dry fully before removal. Some waxes are wipe on, wipe off and so this test is not valid for them. But with the exception of our Ultimate Wax (liquid), all Meguiar's waxes and sealants should be allowed to fully dry before wipe off.
