NEED HELP!!! Please!! Problem with wax!!!

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

You can try re waxing it, but you may need to wipe the car down with a detail spray or just trying misting plain water on it and buffing the water off with your towel.

Dawn or a dish washing detergant or an amonia and water mix will strip that wax right off, just make sure to re wax afterwards to protect the paint.

I'm betting you used a wax that requires being buffed out after a few minutes. Leaving it on for an hour or more will cause it to be a PITA. You can do several things really. You can try washing the car with either your regular car soap or dish washing liquid, like DAWN. Or, you could mix up a bottle of QD that consists of part water and part alcohol. Or as a last resort, you could use an abrasive paint cleaner to remove the dried resudue. As mentioned, be sure to rewax the area for maximum protection and shine.

As said wash your car with Dawn, that should take care of your problem.
