Well, did I do something wrong? After applying NuFinish Polishe at night in my garage, the next morning, I see crappy mark, like smudges, streaks, all over the car. It seems I shouldn't have used that stuff at all. I followed direction, have my car cleaned, applied the polishe inside the garage and wiped with micofiber towel. I am mad!

Smudges & streaks can be a sign of using too much polish/wax when applying. If you're from the old school like me where we learned using simoniz paste in the yellow can, the new products are very different. You can try using a clean MF towel again & fold it in half twice so that you have ~ a 4X4" area against your hand. Spray it VERY lightly with water, I mean keeping the spray bottle about a foot away from the cloth so that it's barely misting. Then very lightly wipe the paint with back-and-forth motions, not in circles. Circular movements can just spread the polish that's on the towel back onto the paint. Turn the towel often, after each panel is about right. Let the paint rest for about an hour & check to see what it looks like. Repeat if necessary. Hope that helps. Joe.
