Recommendation for wax that dries clear.

[MichaelRS]

I guess you get what you pay for, but due to a bad paint job from a shop about 3 years ago after an accident where I had to have my hood replaced the paint on the hood of my old car has a bunch of little crinkles in it that when I apply a wax that dries yellow I can't rub hard enough to completely remove it for fear of removing little sections of paint.

Looks like they did a very bad job applying only one coat and not clear coating over the top of it or any such thing.
At the time it was done it looked well enough and fit perfectly with a car it was paint was otherwise in good condition but yet over 20 years old. But for the last year I've had this problem.

Can't afford to have it repainted right now so I would like recommendations for a wax that even if you can't get it all off it won't be that noticeable if some of it is left behind.

Agree - using a spray wax instead of a liquid or paste wax will eliminate the issues of left over wax. Wax as you dry is just that - spray on wet car (washed clean of course) and dry off - works very well and you'll use less towels. The other option is the spray and wipe waxes like mentioned by spasm3 as well as Quik Wax by Meguires amongst other brand options. Figure on a few weeks protection max but it's so easy to use you won't mind doing it often.
