Cleaning problems, I got spots! Options

[Stipt]

Well first off I washed my car with a circular cloth sponge which worked out pretty well. After that I rinsed it off and use a chamios to dry it which didn't seem to work so well, it didn't really pick up much water and left alot of streak marks. Its brand new and I was told to soak it in dish soap for a day and then wringe out all the soap and then soak it in water and wring it out again. That is not all...after I was done drying my car, I used a spray on wax for my car. The wax didn't seem to work too well at all. It left spot marks on my hood that made me extremely frustrated. I sprayed it on, spread it across the hood, let it dry and then buffed it off with polish car rags. I did this several times but the spots are still one it. Should I strip off all the wax with Dawn soap and then re-wax my car? What kinda brand of chamios/wax should I use that works good for you and are there better things than a chamios to dry your car with? I tried Terry towels and they always seem to have HUGE amounts of lint, so now I just use them as hand towels Thanks for the info guys! (and girls for the few on here)

Its not cracked, and we probably have a good amount of pH in the rain due to the fact that I live in the Quad Cities (four cities combined of course) and we got factories/truckers all the time, plus population is a pain. Ummm....as for cracks, no, not what I am describing anyways. On the hood it just looks like a different shade of white spots all over it. Its hard to see, but in the light its noticable, maybe not to most, but since its my car I see it. I don't think that the pH level is the problem, although it is another suggestion. I planned to get the car repainted or get rid of it as to see that I might buy another celica with a 3sgte swap in it alread that is a manual. So I don't have to go through the whole ordeal of doing it myself.
