Haze on hood

[PalmettoXLT]

Ok let me start off by saying I know this is probally one of the dumbest things I have done and it shows. Over the summer, I decided to wax my XLT. I washed it and dried it. It was one of those hot summer days and I started applying the wax to the hood. I let it dry and then started to buff it off. It wouldnt come off. I started reading the package and it said do not apply in direct sunlight or temps over like 80 degrees. I live in S.C. and my car was in direct sunlight and it was one of those 95+ degree days. Now I am stuck with a haze on my hood. My question is can I get this off with a clay bar system and another good wax? Or does this need something more extensive?

Been there done that too. I used a liquid wax and grease remover (the stuff used to remove the wax before painting) to get all the haze off then gave it a good wash and waxed it again, this time in the garage.

Ok I gotcha. I'll try that. You think a clay bar will get rid of it too? I was thinking about using this on my next wax in a few weeks anyways.

I don't have any experience myself with clay bars but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You might get away with just another coat of wax too if you use the cleaner type wax but I don't really like using the cleaner wax. I think it's better to have the paint prepared with buffing compound or other cleaners and then use pure wax.

Ok I gotcha. Thanks for the help.
