Give Zaino a shot.
Never leaves anything behind except for a brilliant shine!

You can try washing the car with Dawn, that'll take off anything on the paint. But you'll have to re-wax immediately after that.

#7 is a b%^&h to work with. Take a ton of patience, results can be stunning, but the greasy streaks are common, made need to let it dry more, and certaining use less product.

Use less, and use microfiber, and spritz with water when you are done and quick buff with a clean microfiber. #7 isn't wax, its glaze. It deepens gloss and fills in swirls, the greasiness comes with the type of product. Its a good product to use before waxing, just gotta use it properly.
