Got clay bar smudges...*help*

Hello, I am new at this whole clay bar thing, and yes im an idiot and pushed to hard when I clay'd my car. and now there are smudges *pics coming in about 3 hours*. I have tried re-claying it with lots of detailer sprayed on and it does not seem to come off. I have washed it, rubbed it scrubbed it. The smudges are not really visible unless you are up close, and it just drives me crazy. So any suggestions would help. as I said pics coming soon I am at work at the moment. Thanks

Try applying some wax over the smudges. Might as well wax the whole car.

Is it residue from the clay bar or did you actually marr the clear coat?
If you can not remove the marks with polish/wax, then chances are you will need to remove the marks with a polishing compound.
Good luck either way.
