Wax results hazing and milky looking paint
Had my car detailed at a shop and when I picked it up the paint had a hazing and milky looking finish. They did wax the car as the last step. Any ideas to the cause and fixing the problem. If I put another coat of wax myself could it help with the hazing?

FINISH
Your going to have to hit it again with a cleaner wax first then re-apply a regular wax to protect.Maguiars makes a complete kit that has it broken down in steps,works really great..
Good Luck

Sorry to hear about the marks in the paint. Unfortunately this is very common from many detail shops. It's hard to find quality work and when you do it is usually a bit more expensive.
Waxes will not correct the problem, maybe cover it up a little bit at best. Polishes are needed to correct the problem. Unfortunately those photos were not taken at the right angle to show haze. Therefore I'm not 100% sure what the problem is but I'm very confident that it would be from the detailer not finishing down the surface properly. Typically you need to use a good light polish, finishing pad and a quality buffer. I would recommend a white polishing pad and the Menzerna PO106FF as my ideal combination of products to remove these imperfections. I would then protect the surface with a sealant and/or wax next. Let me know if you have any questions.

Greg, what would you recommend for a black Z with some swirl marks in it ?
I have tried a clay bar and even sme polishing. I can still see them.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks

i guessing you were polishing by hand. The best way would be to get your self a porter cable and some good polish and pads and do a two to three step polish on your car. menzerna makes some good polishes and there is also other companies out there. im sure by calling greg at detailed imiage he could put you together a great package for taking care of your black car.

As for specific recommendations I really like to use the combination of the Menzerna Super Intensive Polish (medium) and Menzerna PO106FF (light). It is easy to use and really make the paint look sharp. If you prefer a more cost effective solution try the Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Polish II, which also works great.
Sorry again for the slow response and I hope this information was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.
