Use the Meguires Claybar kit and a polish before a good Zymol wax if you have imperfections.

Yes,

Massive streaking usually occurs on the paint, and humidity makes dark spots more apparent on darker paint. More elbow grease required. Never wax a car when the paint is hot or in direct sunlight.

Ok well I washed and waxed but what a pain in the *** - you're right, it needed to be clayed but didn't have any on me.

Anyone know of a good detailing shop that will clay prior to wax?
