What did you apply it with and how did you apply it? Nothing is suppose to be applied to black paint in circular motions. Same goes for removal.

I apply with a microfiber applicator in straight back and forth motions. The applicators I'm currently using are like a small brick but there are different kinds available. To remove I use a microfiber cloth. You could use a microfiber cloth to apply the wax as well, I just find it's easier to hold and work with an applicator than a cloth.

Don't use rags, don't use too much pressure. Use an applicator that won't try to pick up dirt and move it around.

Also, clay bar first.

I'd also recommend waxing right after you have washed the car to avoid rubbing contaminants around on the paint. The longer you wait after washing the more dust and dirt builds up on the paint's surface.
