Try rubbing compound. It is like wax but more gritty like sand in it.
Also try the block rub thing "WAXBAR" or something like that.
Hope that helps.

WAXBAR hahhahaha....Claybar is the word you are looking for

Try claybar and rubbing compound. just be sure to not go too hard on the rubbing compound or you will rub the paint right off. If you get it off, make sure to put a layer of wax over to protect the surface. Rubbing compound offers no long term protection

Rubbing compounds aren't that harsh man, I use heavy diamond cut rubbing compounds at full speed with my orbital buffer with all my weight on it buffing my car, and it doesn't even burn the paint. Now a pneumatic buffer can do some damage if you don't know what your doing. But yea, rubbing compounds aren't that bad. Get any heavy cut compound and if you don't have a buffer, attack that paint until your wrists, fingers, elbows, and shoulders are in pain (seriously, you gotta do it until you feel arm pain) and that should clear most of the cloudiness.

A compound is designed to remove a VERY thin layer of paint (don't let that scare you, i've been compounding my car for years) to remove deep (into the clearcoat) scratches. So it does not leave any protection on the paint when you rub it off. Actually, you need to follow up with a polish, which is basically an very very light compound, before you wax, otherwise your paint will just look like shit.

So heavy compound, polish, wax. Don't bother with a claybar, it's not going to do shit for cloudiness, claybar will only remove contaminants attached to the paint.
