Default Too humid?

I waxed the mustang tonight and the wax went on and wiped off very differently than normal. I did everything the same and used the same wax (Mothers carnuba cleaner wax) as always. It went on very unevenly and wiped off like my microfiber was wet. Is it possible that since it had rained most of the day that is was too humid?

Yes, it is very possible. Humidity and temp can greatly affect polishes, waxes, sealants, etc. How much of an effect it has will vary depending on the product/ brand.

Let the product sit on the paint longer.

If the finish looks "streaky"... spray it with distikled water, then wipe it dry with a clean microfiber. It will help to "even out" the appearnce of the finish.
