Some basic detailing questions
1.) I used Mother's Car Polish on my Black Audi and now that it's hot out the wax is rising up leaving a white film over the vehicle. I hand waxed it myself, and buffed it really well with a soft cloth. How do I know get rid of it?
2.) I want to touch up minor scratches in the paint, chips and things like that from road debris.
3.) There are white streaks in the paint from where the old owner must've clipped her garage a couple of times. How do these go away?
That's all I can think of for now. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Some basic detailing questions
1) Some synthetic (non carnuba based) waxes have been rumored to leave hazes on German paint. If that's the case, use a clay bar or cleaner compound then either a cleaner wax (mother's gold is what I use) or a carnuba-based finishing wax. Also, was it a glaze or wax that you used? I'm not familiar with Mother's Car Polish, but if it's a glaze or swirl removal compound, you'll have to put an acutal wax over it.

3) You can try 3m Imperial hand glaze or a harsher scratch removal compound (ScratchX or something). Audi's black is soft enough that you may have to have those professionally removed, unless you're confident with a power buffer and abrasive scratch remover on soft paint.
