Hm... yea. As everyone else has said, it looks like you just added layers of wax over the particles and grime that are stuck in your paint. You need to clay bar and take all of the dirt off the paint before you wax over it. Nothing to do with car manufacturer or whatever.

I will try the clay bar. I certainly dont want to cause any Haziness. After reading other threads about the clear bra's and the lexus paint protector film, I think that it is possible that this is my issue. I bought the ISF used, so I dont know everything that was done to it. Like I said the paint "looks" great, just doesn't "feel" great. Maybe anyone that has the lexus paint protector on their ISF can comment.

My car felt like crap too, claybar made it very slick. I've never seen any Haziness from claybaring. It takes a while to do, especially an entire car but well worth it!

Default slick

well, as long as we are on this subject, my ISF has a "clear bra" on the whole front of the car. What do I do with this? My natural instinct is to clean and wax the living daylights out of it, but I'm not sure. I was advised to use a non carnuba wax on it. Help me out here.
