Washed The Paint Right Off?

Q. Hi, My car is a 1995 Buick Century V-6. Last week I used ARMOR ALL Heavy Duty Car Wash to remove some tree saps and then washed the hood. After that, the surface of the hood felt very rough. So I decided to wax it. I used Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. But it remains rough or even worse.

Do you know why it is and what I can do to bring back the smoothness?

Thanks for your time,
Liying

A. Stop by a body shop or a detailer shop with that can of whatever you used to wash car. Maybe they can tell you what happened. Maybe the clear coat is coming off?
