Either they are swirl marks in the paintwork that need polishing out, or if they are wax swirl marks (as Greeners has said), you haven't buffed it off properly. Make sure you buff with a fresh microfibre cloth. One should be enough but if you've been applying too much, get another fresh one.

For me, one pad of wax should cover an entire panel eg entire bonnet, entire roof etc.

gti265:
ok so i just need to put a smaller amount of wax on the pad me thinks, i shall try that tomorow

cheers for the help guys

or use a different wax i use presta fast was just to detail with zero dust and a finish you could dive into

I have just got some Tiki wax that you apply with the palm of your hands, Its excellent

Fastmonkey:
Also could be how long you leave it on, some people wax the whole car and then go back and polish it all off and those first panels will be harder to remove.  I do 2 or 3 panels at a time and then wax off and then 2 or 3 more etc.
