***, why does this haze keep coming back?

Well, here its the story.

I tried some Mothers Sealer and glaze and it does a beautiful job. The first time I used it, I used it with the PC and topped it with a pure paste carnuba. The car looked incredible. later that day when I parked the car in the garage i noticed that there was this slight haze on most of the panels. I really did not know what the heck it was, but i buffed out the whole car with a QDand a MF towel. I then drove to my fathers house the next day and spent the day there. I had my car parked in his garage due to threat of rain. Again, I noticed that the haze had returned. Again I used a QD and it was okay. It rained the next day and I never QD'd after that rain because I came to find out that my car was going to have to be parked in a bad neighborhood the next week so I did not want it looking to blinged out so I wanted it to get dirty. We then had a heatwave and I did no detailing due to the heat. Now the weather got better and I decided to clean her up again.

Today I washed the car, then applied the glaze by hand with a foam applicator. I decided to use some Mothers reflections quick wax to top it. Once again, when brought the car into the garage this evening I noticed that the haze had returned. I went over the whole car again with MF /QD combo. The only constant is the glaze. I don't know why this is happening. Anybody?

Try going down to bare paint with a water/alcohol mix and then do it again without the paste carnuba. If the haze doesn't come back, the sealer and glaze could be interfering with the paste carnuba. Sometimes products don't play nice together, if it does come back try the water/alcohol again and the paste 'nuba by itself. If it still comes back then, you got problems buddy

I would take a mild/semi-aggressive polish (like FP II, Z-PC, AIO, Meg #9, 3M SMR) with a PC and do 1 panel that exhibits this haze. Check under halogen, fluo or sunlight. It should be gone.

I'd go with Tim's response. Iso down a panel apply the sealant without applying the carnauba. I think you're problem is you didn't allow the sealant to cure...
