Polish marks on car .. how to get rid of them?

So I detailed my car last night.. looks great, except there's still bits and swirls of polish left on the car, and they won't come off. I applied the polish, let it dry, and wiped with a soft towel as per Zaino's instructions, but there's still polish swirls/marks everywhere. How do I get it off? Help!

What kind of polish? Zaino calls a bunch of stuff "polish" that actually is sealant. If it is Z2 or Z5 dried on there, you can buff it off with a MF towel. You may need to use more elbow grease than you did. Spray some Z6 or other QD on it if you're having difficulty removing it.

BTW - assuming it is Z2 or Z5, you used way too much. Use very very very very very little next time and it will be easier to remove (and still offer the same protection).

Thanks, BK. I'll give that a shot when I get home.
