well let me guess. you waxed your car in the sun? is so you have done exactly what the back of the bottle tells you not to do. i have no clue how to fix it if you did this. but try a grease cutter. and then some Zaino polish. it may help. but i have never seen someone totally fix this kind of problem.

I'd try getting some grease wax stripper from autozone (if that is wax the you put on there), cleaning, and then go with some Meguires body scrub (or some sort of glazing compound)

Be sure to test a small spot 1st,, you may need some rubbing compund. Liquid glazes & compunds seem to give better results than pastes too IMO
