Default New camaro stripes have wax on them? Step inside

I had a friend of mine call me and someone had waxed or tried to wax her car and went right over the stripes and left nice wax/buff marks on it. Wish i had a before picture but i just jumped right in and for got so if you have this happen to your car use Turtle Wax ICE worked like a dream. Did a full detail for her and it came out awesome. I had done some research but never found anyone had shown the end result.

Buffer swirls by definition is damage to the surface, meaning it cut into the surface and unleveled the clear coat.

Unless you leveling it out with a buffer and with proper technique and chemicals, at best you applied a filler to make it look better. I suspect this was more like improper wax removal or a combo. ICE does not last long so check it out after it had time to come off.

I dont mind ICE, used it when it first came out, but moved on to better products but it is good as a booster or a quick wax in a pinch.

The stripes are a matte finish that have no clear coat it's kind of like getting regular wax on your plastic bumper and it turning white
