tried my formula 113, help?

ok so i tried my formula 113 today, which it says can be used in the sun, which i did, now i have strange residue looking marks all over. i tried a brand new clean towel to buff it off, thinking maybe my applicator towel was full of residue but that didn't work either? im sad to say it looks worse now than it did before.. it HAS to be something Im doing wrong, ive heard way to many good things about this stuff. whats going on?

go park it in the shade for awhile. and use a terry clothe for your best results. you can use it in the sun, I have many times. however if it has sat in teh sun with still some wax on it, it will be harder to get off. Like I said you can use it in the sun, it just comes off alittle harder. so use some elbow grease and you'll get it off.

Yeah, I never really had that problem in the sun, even leaving it on there.

Get that baby in the shade, try repolishing a small area if that doesn't work wash it with warm soapy DISHWASING liquid & water, (the stuff ya put in the sink Not the machine) as it strips back polish a bit compared to car wash. then re 113 ya baby.
