Default RG 55 Hazing problem

About two months ago I went by and polished this clients Camaro as I do every year at the beginning of summer. This summer the car got a once over with SIP on a green CCS and then PO85RD on a black CCS. LSP was RaceGlaze 55. A few weeks later he called complaining of hazing. He hadn't washed the car yet so I told him to have a go at it and it should be ok. Its just the oils in the wax. Well, long story short, two months and a few carwashes later, its still doing it. Have a look at the photos.

In this pic, you can see the line I put in the hazing with my finger.



Two minutes later its gone. Thats how fast the paint was hazing over. The owner was going nuts trying to keep it wiped down. He kept thinking he was missing panels.



If you look at the light on the left, you can see where I've wiped away the hazing and see how grey it is compared to the car.



I wound up wiping down the passenger side with Top inspection and waiting an hour. No more hazing. I then polished the same side with Menz Intensive polish and PO85RD. Turns out he was using Megs Ultimate Detailier and Quick Detailer-both synthetics I believe. Would these products cause a reaction with the 55?







I wiped down the trunk lid with Top Inspection but no polish and polished the hood with PO85RD and no Top Inspection to see what would happen. No hazing returned. I'll be redoing the entire car again (3rd time this year) this week and will post pics. Any ideas and thoughts? Any recommendations for carnauba based quick detailers?

The clearcoat is ungodly soft but I think it was the Megs not getting along with the 55. Last year we had SRP and EGP on it with no problems and it hasn't hazed over since I redid it. So far.

I would say the Megs and the Raceglaze are not playing well with each other. Plus need some more pictures of the whole car.

I have had the same issues with Zymol Vintage. I think it is just the oils in the nuba reacting with the summer heat. I was using Pinnacle Crystal Mist or Adams QD with mine and it did not help.
