What kind of wax or polish is it? Did you apply it too thick? Did you apply it in the sun or to a hot surface? How long did you let it sit before you buffed it off? What did you use to try to remove the residue?

There could be a hundred reasons without being a little more specific...

Sounds like the product itself has gone bad, it could have been 2 or 3 years old when you bought it.
