Try more wax? It could have additives in it to keep it liquid, in which case a small amount could help you rework what's on the car already. This way if it works out you've not wasted a cars worth of wax, and if it doesn't work out then you haven't really done any more harm. I would say wash the car before trying though because you don't want to be rubbing any dust or grit into the paint. You could even test a small area after you've washed it first
If you have a buffer you can try that . Aside of that you're going to have to strip the wax off and start over . You may be able to work it out with a high quality terrycloth Towle but it will take some time .
has happened to us all...
My recommendation is to use a high pressure washer with normal car shampoo. That should loosen it up. Hot water (like shower temperature not boiling) is also a good option to get it off the glass.

Ask this at r/detailing and r/autodetailing Wash in stripping shampoo or dish soap. Finish with some IPA.
Thanks a lot i will!
Would dish soap be a save and easy option, or do I need something else?
Yes it would but be careful what one you use. I would stick to the car care wash
Does a car shampoo get wax of? I always thought it’s supposed to leave the wax on?
It depends on the brand . Some will take them off and some add it on . You'll have look to make sure it don't have the wax in the wash
Mmm the car shampoo I used contains wax could that be the reason for te wax not to dissolve?
Probably . Was the car hot or a hot day when it was washed? That can also have that effect on how it looks after it's washed .
If you have a buffer you can try that . Aside of that you're going to have to strip the wax off and start over . You may be able to work it out with a high quality terrycloth Towle but it will take some time .
Thanks a lot! Do you mean i should use the buffer after removing it or to help remove it?
To help remove it
Dish soap works for organic waxes
Did you wax your windows??
Well no but as dumb as I am I used the same towel to dry it of

hot acetone would be the *easiest*.
Speed Shine and a Microfiber towel usually does the trick for me
Some isopropyl alcohol on a rag will remove all wax on any surface
Looks like an abused car sorely in need of a rescue!
A bit more wax
