Hey i waxed my car with One Grand Blitz wax and...(help!)
Maybe i let the wax dry too long or something...because now i have these crazy/annoying glare marks whenever the sun is shining right on the car...they are sooo noticable...should i use something to strip the wax and redo it, using a little more precaution or what? When i washed my car before i waxed it, it looked sooo much better than it does now when i wash my car, since i have waxed.

If you can't hand buff them out..
Try 3m's imperial hand glaze and/or the swirl mark remover. If that doesn't work then you might have use the clay bar, but shouldn't really be necassary judging from your description.
Make sure the *edges* of your "wax applicator" are not primarily rubbing on the paint. Make sure you are using an ample amount of wax (not ALOT) and you are only doing one panel, or two (depends on size of car) at a time. It sounds like the wax dried quickly half way through your job - or you were in direct sunlight.
The paint has to be cool to the touch - especially the hood (i.e.: after driving).
Use an old meguires bottle, fill with water (perfect mist) or get a damp towel and wipe down the paint after wax job. This will pick up all of the left over residue and stuff.

The wax you use contains Silicone. Thus causing the glare to take off....
If the climate you are in is humid it is a bitch to take off. Not to worry, and no need to wax again. Use a high quality polish (my favorite Zymol) Apply this basically the same way you would apply wax in the shade, while car is cool. This should remove any glare you see plus produce an awesome shine. Good luck
P.S. Nice Picture.
