Problems with wax!!!! HELP!!!

I know this is wrong forum but the shine and show forum is so slow so I am asking here and there.

I have huge problem with my wax. When I started doing it (about 12.pm) weather was excellent. I went through whole process oxidation removal, swirl removal and then wax. First two phases took me about 3 hours. I just put a regular finish wax on my front half car and weather changed in seconds. ****ing rain!!! So I put my car in to garage), but my garage as I thought that I will remove wax later. After 1 hour I started to remove wax but wax didn’t come off. I tried to polish it in to my paint but nothing helped. Now after whole day of hard working my car has something like oil spots all around. What Should I do to remove those spots? Just put another coat of wax tomorrow and forget about whole thing? Or do something specific?
Thanks for all answers

Go and buy some new terry clothe towels. Sometimes the towel is the reason it will not come off. And continue to rub it off with the new soft towels. I have had problems like this before and have found that the towel was the main reason. Hope that helps.

Before you get too extreme.....have you tried a detailer such as Meguiar's? or Final Inspection? They should remove any haze associated with the wax application. If not, go over it with a cleaner wax product. There should be no need to remove all the wax. Do not use dishwashing products. You're not driving a piece of china are you? Dishes do not contain paint and that is what you are trying to protect with the wax application.
