You shouldn't wax fresh paint for like 30 days IIRC.

First problem.

Second, yooou need moooore cleaaaaaar. The clear in the cans is real thin and needs A LOT of coats (thin ones :P) before it gets any kind of shine.

Wetsand it a bit with like 2-2500 grit, clean & tack and start laying down clear on it. Don't wax it until like 30 days after you're done.
