Help please!

I have a 5 year old boat that has never been waxed, yes I know bad bad.
Well I tried to put a coat on this weekend and now the white finish
looks cloudy like some of the wax never dried. The finish is smooth it
just looks really bad. Does anybody have any suggestions on how get
the good finish back?

I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but....

.... you are going to have to compound all of the oxidized finish off
before re-waxing the boat. Wax doesn't "fix" an oxidized gelcoat,
although it might make it feel slicker...

Go to your local boat store and check out some of the products like 3M
Fiberglass Cleaner and Wax or Fiberglass Restorer and Wax... get a
good polisher, follow the directions, and have at it.....
