Simple fix, get some Meguiars #7 glaze (gentler) or even #9 Swirl Mark Remover (faster and removes swirls). Apply to a terry cloth towel, buff, and cover with wax again. It should turn it back to GPW again in no time. Normal car wash soap doesn't take it off and dirt and grime just build up over time.

You guys get all that dirt and crud that build up on there over time. Ever see brand new white cars, how blingin they are? That car a year later is still white, but not bright Clorox Bleach'd white. Car wash soap can only take off so much.
Get some Meguiars Swirl Mark Remover dude.

Scratch X will work, if not im in Hacienda hts shoot me a PM.
