ok thanks but what if i use a 3 step in addition to the clay bay? Also any reccomendations for best wax for a white car, newer paint?

 

Well all i know is what i wrote lol no 3-step plan or anything lol i did what i wrote and im freggin happy as all fregging hell and i got pretty nice paint also.

 

claybar and meguires 3 step is god.

 

Me no likely meguires i think its crap personally but its all good

 

if your wanting to do the three step, and claybar your car...

wash
claybar the car
polish
wax
wash again if you feel up to it...

The first step in the 3 step process is a paint cleaner. All it will do it take the old wax and polish off. Which is part of what the claybar does and more. So no need to do that.

and yes, i tried the liquid clay bar... wasnt impressed at all. But seeing as how your paint is much more fresh than mine, might do you some good to try it out.

 

hmm ill probably just go with the traditional, hopefully i can wax it this summer

 

I used a clay bar on my car for the first time not to long ago. I used the Meguires that comes with the claybar and spray. It made a huge difference. The paint felt rough before and afterward it was smooth like glass. Even if that's not exactly what you need for the bumper it never hurts to use a clay bar on it every once in a while.

 

is there something that woukd work better?

 

maybe try a really light grit sandpaper on just the spots untill a little smoother, then polish and wax it really well. i dont know though, just a thought.

 

my paint is smooth as its newer, only places its not is a small hood and crack and of course my f'ed up fender
