Dont get me wrong, but the car looks good, but your going to do that, then put the butt of the PC on the car, to possibly leave scratchs?
and why would you put our microfibers, and pads on the carpet like that, to just pick up stuff thats going to scratch your car later on?

and they do make bonnets to fit over hard or semi hard foam pads so you dont have to go through the microfiber on a pad deal.

I just bought a 2009 4dr Yaris Black. I've owned ton of black cars in the past and have detailed them all never having any problems. This car has me banging my head on the wall.

I used NuFinish first for the first wax and it came at aweful. Then I read about SwirlX and NXT 2.0 and did the car over today. It looks somewhat better, however there seems to be like a grease appearence on the car. Almost as if when taking off the wax it won't come off all the way. I used the best applicators, removers, ect. It just seems to be covered with a haze still.

Any sugesstions.....I almost wish I never waxed it. I only have 900 miles on it.

Any help would be appreciated.

clay bar the entire car to remove that wax or use dawn dish soap to strip the car and then restart with the NXT 2.0

No worries! I set it there very carefully for the picture. The paint really isn't that fragile and I'm not that anal. I think Kaotic Lazagna is, however . Have you read what he does to wash and detail his car??? OMG!!! Again, I just set them there for the pic. Thanks for your concern! I've seen the bonnets (I don't happen to have any), this was just a suggestion if you didn't have them handy.
