about a month ago i waxed my car for the first time i used Chemical Guys - Pete's 53 Paste Wax http://http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/chemical-guys-pete-39-s-53-paste-wax/prod_337.html, i applied it to all my car with a foam pad working in small circles then buffed it of with a microfibre cloth, it looked realy nice after i buffed it all off, it was about 4 degrees that day and over night there was frost, a feww days later and all the car came up in white swirl marks which was from the wax. spent the best part of two hours yesterday buffing all the marks of after i washed the car, thankfully its all been removed. So why did it happen?

Left it on for too long?
didnt buff it enough?
was to cold?
should of chnaged the cloth?

any help would be apricated as would like to wax it again properly quite soon, thanks.

To cold, to much moisture in the air, got underneath the wax and gave you your hazy marks all over, i deally wants to be 10degrees plus on a clear day without moisture in the air before applying ay kind of wax/glaze/polish

^As above^

Or you never let the wax cure properly and was still greasy whist buffing. Try using more microfibres to help with them getting clogged. A little quick detailer after a final buff, helps as well.
