Go over the car with a QD and a microfiber towel.

Let us know if it worked!

Strange. ITs normal to get "holograms" after leaving a fresh layer of a high end wax in the sun. But it should be gone after QD and mf. On the bottle of cleaner fluid it says not to let dry.

My Smargrd did the same thing... I literally had to rip it back off and re-apply.

Nothing I did took the wax holigrams out.

I don't know but from the sounds of it, I would start from ground zero and try again.
