Wrong Wax?

["K Operator"]

Ok here's a quick warning, never had this happen before on my old L2501 would wash and wax, the wax makes it easy to get the dirt off hood, wheels. Switched out 2025 L3902 need some more power for projects, not sure if the newer powder coating or the paint type Kubota has went to changed that much but it appears it has started to fade and spot appears like hard water residue is all over the hood, the wax I've used "Nu Finish" was the product, better stay away from this on the new tractors! I'm going to take some 3M rubbing compound and sample to see if correctable.

Ps Former body guy, done in shop not in direct sun, applied and buffed buy hand off with clean cloth! if wasn't me!

Don't forget to polish the bottom of your bucket!

unfortunately that's a bit of the downside of that stuff. Not being a wax its kinda known to make those problems with some types of plastic / rubbers. I used it on a Mustang maybe 40 yars ago and on the paint it was fantastic. On the black plastic trim around windows not so much. In those days the plastic damage it made cost me a small fortune to fix.

I've used Nu Finish exclusively on everything, including both 30 year old Kubotas and others as new as 2016 models for decades without issues.

Man that stuff is still around? I remember the 30 min infomercials on that and slick 50 back in the day.
