go buy yourself a can of T-Cut or other polishing compound from your local auto supplies store, and sit and polish for ages till you can see you face in your piantwork. Apply a few coats of wax when your finished and you're sorted.

This rarely happens for me, LOL Polishing can be very tedious! So a few weeks ago I messed around with my drill press and a mandrel from my dremel tool  It worked great! Keep an eye out , I plan a how to.

That's probably because turtle wax is incompatible with the paint you are using. This is a brand specific issue, actually.
Zymol and Meguiars is okay for Tamiya and Gunze synthetic lacquer.
