To the OP, have you try any claying and polishing before any waxing done to your car? I would try to use a mircofiber app with my wax and always try to put it on very thin and just wait about 5-10 mins before removing any of it with your microfiber towel.

Ive wondered if that stuff was any good, seems like it did a great job on your car!, I recently tried Eagle One Gel Wax, its clear and leaves no residue on black plastic areas of your car, I really liked it.. but I may have to try this Armor All wax you used...

Like how you did your wheels. Looks familiar to me.

Car looks great
