Unhappy polishing

alreet

my saxo does not liked to be waxed

i washed it by hand after work, jet washed it and tried it, got home a safe cutted it, looked smart, went to polish it and it went to s??t

the wax would not come off, the bits that did left marks but its never done it in the past so can anyone shine some light onto why its doin this

cheers

Personally don't rate their products apart from 'fast glass'

Alot more better things on the market for the same price.
