It depends on the car.

A rough surface scatters reflected light in all directions, it is harder to make out an image.
A polished surface evens out surface, so that reflected light behaves more like a mirror. The wax fits into the irregularities in the paint finish. Polishing then makes this flat. For a correct image to be seen, the surface must reflect the light, back the way it came, insted of at an angle.

Why does water bead up on freshly waxed car?
Wax is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. Of course, this repulsion is not strong enough to make the water hover a millimeter above the surface, but it is strong enough to force the water to act in this way, rather than sit there in a thin sheet. The "surface tension" of the water itself also plays a role.
How does reflective insulation work?
The production of reflective fabric uses the principle of retro reflection. It helps the eye perceive light in low-light conditions. In more scientific terms, retro reflection occurs when light rays are returned in the direction from which they came. A large amount of reflected light is returned directly to the original light source, such as a car's headlights. Since very little light is scattered when the light is returned, retro reflective materials appear brightest to an observer located near the original light source.
