I'm getting a greasy film (not a clear wax-like finish) on my shower enclosure with this product. Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong

I have not used this product on shower enclosure. Are you using the spray can version? Works very well on my fiberglass tub and has kept it new looking for years. I have used it on my front storm door glass and works very well . After applied it must dry like any other wax product like a car wax product.

After you apply it let get a light film over it it takes about 8 to 10 min. for it to dry, then take a clean and dry cloth and rub it all off some times you have to rub real hard, once you have it all off it will shine.

Apply, let dry to a haze, buff like you would waxing a car. As James commented it does take some rubbing.Love this product. You must remember this is a shower base you don't want to fall from it being slippery.

I haven't had that problem, but you need to buff it with a soft clean cloth or towel.

If it drips 2-5 seconds after u turn off the shower then its ok, but when its dripping constantly its not good not supossed to. Either you installed it wrong or ur item is damaged.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

Hmm... it may be something with your pack. I've never experienced this with these filters before (i've ordered them 3 times). I do get an oily film on the surface when I add a water conditioner - but it doesn't sound like you are adding that to your water. I'd recommend trying to get in touch with the company for a replacement - sounds like you may have a bad set of filters.

I usually find it a bit thicker when the bottle is new... like a typical yogurt to greek yogurt texture (if that comparison makes sense)... then it gets a bit thinner by the time I reach the bottom, I've always chalked it up to water getting in the bottle from the shower? I haven't used the Luxury shampoo to compare.

Mine does the same thing. It's actually a chemical reaction from the metal. I'd love to find one that has a powder coated attachment knob as this will prevent it. Rubbing it with vegetable oil between washing has helped but not entirely. I'm hoping I'll have better luck with this one.

that seems odd as the product i received was creamy and very easy to apply. could yours be beyond it's shelf life and are you using it at room temp?

I just made sure it was over 75 degrees, mine did the same thing and it felt sticky the first week of showering but it went away, I am going to eventually put another coat on it but I am going to use a different brand that I can use a roller with and do it in the summer when it is warm out.

I would suggest using real water based lube .... cleans up easier and will keep the product in great shape.

Besides putting it in the dishwasher, I'm puzzled about it still feeling greasy after washing. I am in total agreement, with the ones that recommended Dawn dish soap. It's really the best, for so many things. That and good hot water.

I have purchased five balls and not experienced and problems with them being greasy. I don't know what that could be.

Hi, I'm not sure whether your concern is because of the small size of the shower or the material on the shower walls. As for placement, choose a spot where it won't interfere with your showering or a shower hose, if you have one. I hung mine a bit high in my super-tiny apartment shower so that I wouldn't bump into it while standing and washing my hair, and it works really well. I think the instructions suggest cleaning and then using rubbing alcohol on the wall to remove any soap residue before you stick on the adhesives, and this is important. I think it would probably be great for an RV, but it all depends on your needs. Hi, I'm not sure whether your concern is because of the small size of the shower or the material on the shower walls.

Our shower stall sounds just like yours. We mounted it using the glue that was supplied 14 months ago. No problems of any sort at all!

Nope, the water pressure it releases isn't good. Try peroxide with quips to lessen wax.

No, it is not greasy. It is a paste and if I had to describe it, the word would be sticky and it needs to be for what it is designed to do. Hope that helps.

gees, sorry! I guess you may have a problem BUT, there are several different variations. Maybe you could try one of those. I think the smell is delicious and I can acyually smell it on my towel for a while after showering :)

Yes, it's a perfect product. BUT you need to clean any old caulk completely and any soap scum etc. Use Acetone to get all oily residue in well ventilated bathroom. Apply in a very thin bead and smooth out with wet finger. WET finger is the key ! Dry finger will ruin your application. You can add more if not enough and smooth over again. Removing too much of this stuff is a nightmare and almost impossible. It's very sticky. Once it's cured it looks wonderful and is waterproof. Lasts forever. I had my shower enclosure caulked in with this stuff, looks like day one. Good Luck ! Rose
