What makes you think that it's not removing the wax???

Clay will most likely remove most if not all of the wax but scratchX will definitely remove it. #7 is a Pure polish so that would not have as much effect on the wax and wil not remove any imperfections. Rubbing alcohol will also remove the wax.

At some point in putting multiple coats of wax on usually 2-3 coats you cannot layer the wax any further. You will simply be removing the previous coat....the below link explains this well.

What's the deal with "Layering?" - Car Care Forums: Meguiar's Online

Do a youtube search on how to apply ScratchX and make sure you are working it properly, most of the time that is why people don't see the results they are looking for.
