I was just wondering how long you waited for your last coat of finish to dry, before you waxed it?
How high is the humidity in your work area?
High humidity can cause clouding of the finish.
French polishing puts on very thin layers, and takes a long time to build up a smooth finish.
If the clouding only appears when you put on a coat of wax, I would think the finish was not built up enough to fill the grain of the wood.
When you wipe off the wax the small pits left by the open grain would fill with wax leaving it looking cloudy.
All just a guess on my part'
