if the paint feel rough you probably need to clay bar the car. looks good though.

Was the paint finishes smooth before applying the spray wax? I only ask because some spray wax may leave some ghosts and residues and need to buff off.

My favorite spray wax: ChemicalGuys HybridV7

Looks good! Give the car a full claybar treatment and report back. Might be able to get rid of the contaminants without using specialized chemicals like IronX. Make sure to put another layer of protection after claying though

AND since you're in NY where it is probably cold, I recommend putting your clay in warm water to make it knead easier. It helps when you're trying to form it into the shape you like to use
