First of of all, don't use Turtle Wax...basically junk, as you discovered. You need to first polish the paint, and then wax/seal it. Try either the 3-M polish or Mcguires polish, I have used both with good results. You also need an orbitol buffer, first polish the paint, this will remove scratches (minor, not deep ones they require more aggresive polish) and also increase the gloss. Then apply the wax. Your best place to get the supplies and good advice is your local auto paint supply store. It is a good afternoon's work, but you should see a differance. Have Fun.
