Wax distorted paint?!

Hi everyone,

I was hoping if someone can help me out with this paint issue. I was waxing my car, and in the middle of waxing I had to stop because something came up. I didtnt have time the next few days to wipe off the wax but I thought it wouldnt be a big deal because it was just wax. However the car was left out in the sun. When i finally had a chance I wiped off the excess wax, but now my paint seems to be distorted. It seems to me that the clear coat melted with the wax and now the paint job is not a smooth finish but wavy and bumpy where the excess wax was left. If you can please direct me to a product to even this out that would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Clay bar it, you can get it at your local Pep Boys or AutoZone. Any one will do, either from Meguiar's or Mother's.

That's weird. Have you tried using Detail spray with a microfiber towel? What kind of wax were you using?
