I meant wax. I always have trouble buffing it off, even with few different style/brand waxes.

You're probably applying too much. Thin and even coats of a quality wax will come off super easy. It should be pretty much totally see through when hazed. Sealants usually need time to bond with the paint, but this too should be thin. Less is often more. When I do my car (if it was black) it would look like the lower half of the gas door all around. If not for the buffer pad waves you couldn't really see it.

You're buffing the residue off. Only so much is gonna stick, so why waste and have more residue to remove? Hopefully this makes life easier. If you want more protection then wait 24 hours, rewash the car, then apply a second coat of wax. Anything more than two is overkill. What brand(s) of wax are you using? Might be half the issue, some just are harsh to use.
Sorry for the minor threadjack.
