I'm sorry if this isn't the right section but i"m new to this forum. How do I remove this from my paint? Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet (http://imgur.com/a/mOALi) So I take good care of my paint and try my best to keep it as clean as possible for a daily driver, but I have no idea what this is. I have it in several spots on the car and it seems to appear after applying meguiars ultimate quik wax (I'm not too happy with that product anyways, seems to attract a lot of dust). I've done several washes with CG honeydew and it seems it won't come off. How would I go about removing the spots? I don't have a DA polisher yet so hand removal techniques would be best.

UPDATE: thanks for helping me. I did an IPA wipedown and it fixed it ( Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet (http://imgur.com/a/RZdmM) ). It was definitely meguiars ultimate spray wax causing it because I did a test spot on my bumper and it was doing the same thing. I'll probably never use that product again.

I'll probably switch to a QD sold on here and skip the spray wax. I was mainly using it as an after wash quick wipe to get water trails and such that were coming out of nooks and crannies after the drying process.

For a QD, I like Sonax brilliant shine

That looks like over application of the product or as if it was done if Direct sun light. When u use a spray wax, very little product is required, spread a bit and immediately buff off with a clean, dry MF. If it was done in the sun, then that is an obvious fix. I find Megs UQW very user friendly, so b4 you ditch the product just try to change your technique a bit.
