Default Best way to remove "haze" on paint?

My truck was recently clay bar and buffed to remove acid rain/permanent water spots and it looks tons better. But, there is hazy areas in the paint that hand washing will not remove. What can I use to remove the hazy areas that are making my paint look dull?

Flat black...


Use a machine polisher with an adapter. Attach the wool-polishing disc on the plate.
Apply rubbing compound on a small area directly on the car’s surface. Use a product like 3M Fine Cut Compound. Press the wool disc against the car (over the area with compound), and turn on the machine. Spread compound with your wool disc on the polisher. Place the speed dial between 3.5 and 4. Go over the area in a figure-8 pattern from left to right, and up and down. Do this multiple times until the compound starts to dry. Remove compound residue with a 50/50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and water. Dry the area with a microfiber towel. Feel the surface with your fingers and make sure it’s smooth. If the surface isn’t smooth or the haze is still present, apply the compound and repeat the procedure until you get rid of the hazing and the finish is bright. Opt for Turtle Wax instead to remove hazing and obtain a shiny finish. Wash your car thoroughly and dry it completely. To remove haze or old grime, you’ll get better results if you use the paste wax. Although it requires more work, the pressure you apply to remove the wax will also remove the haze. Apply the wax in small sections using small, circular motions. Remove the wax with a soft cotton rag.

haze is not removed my waxing the paint only, its a combination of polish and the correct pressure and speed with a rotary or orbital buffer. I recommend talking to dylan@adamspolishes to get info before you jump in and do any polishing yourself! They have a fool proof system that is simple yet effective! Never use a buffer or anything that could effect your paint, if you have never had any info or training on it! It will burn the paint or make the swirls worse!
