what kind of wax u use? was it old?
Ive used an old wax be4 couple years back and the it was hard to get the wax out of my Pops car.
Try letting it dry then rubb again. If that doesnt work use Meguiars "body scrub" or their clay bar, that should take it right out.
Unless all the white flakes are chipped paint from rocks.
