Default waxing issues !! HELP

Okay ever once in a while when i wax my car does on my camaro the cleaner,polish,wax all leave a haze mark.. even when i wash the doors and scrub them with dawn soap its still there.. i used my buffer and it made them worse.

why does this only happen on the doors?

how can i remove the haze looks?

is this just another GM shitty paint/clear job done at the factory.. no where else on the car is this a issue,it drives me nuts..

What kind of buffer and what other materials are you using to apply and remove all your products with?

sounds like a bad product. check your dates and keep them inside not in your garage....also sounds like the cleaner and polisher might be too abrassive, plus never use a dish washing product on your paint since you did you just super dried out your paint leaving a oxidized look..

the buffer has nothing to do with the haze since it made a haze even with me using my hand applying the wax. the wax is really old and it does sit in my garage in the winters in a box. strange how it works perfect everywhere else? its just a orbital buffer and i do need to get a new apply pad for it,but like i said i have used it before on my car and had no problems with anywhere else on the car. is it maybe a build up of wax?

what do i do to fix this?

wax is meguries

clay bar the whole car and re-apply the polish/wax again. make sure you wash your car with dawn first to remove any old wax......then begin the clay bar process.

im no expert on this stuff, but i doubt its wax build up. once the first layer of wax is on, its hard to cake it on. With one layer of wax, the next layer is not fully applied to the paint. Its kinda hard to explain. The first layer acts as a barrier, therefore the next layer just goes on and buffs completly off.
