have someone detail the car for you...i used to detail cars and its not that easy..
1. Wash the car
2. Get bug and tar remover and wipe down the whole car(this will take the wax of easily)
3. Claybar the whole car
4. Polish it with the compound and then if you can find a diamond crystal polish that works wonders..
5. after getting all the polish off youre ready to wax...


edit: if you need help with it pm me im in jersey

ok so this is wut i did and it helped very little:
1. Washed and Dried
2. Used distilled white vinegar( b/c i read it is and acid and takes out the acid rain marks) didnt work
3. washed it and dried it.
4. clay barred it
5.rubbing compounded it.
6. waxed it

from far away it looks real nice but once u get close u can still c the swirl marks and acid rain corrosions. i guess i cant help it anymore since they have probably been in the paint for over 8 yrs now. i bought the car used so.

one more question r u supposed to wash it again after u polish it and b4 u wax it.

Dishwashing liquid will do the trick of removing the wax! Trust me, my mom used to use dishwashing liquid all the time to wash her car and it even started removing the clear.
