Okay, I finally got to clean the new car and I found old dried water trails running from the hood scoop down to the front bumper. I tried wash, polish, wax, quick detailer, etc. Any advice?? :scratch:

From what I've read about the wonders of a Claybar, that might do the trick

Meguiars NXT is NOT a polish. It has VERY slight cleaning properties, but not enough to do anything. It is more of a sealant.

Claybar should work, good thinking fastrack

I can't believe I didn't think of that. Jeez!!!! Thanks for the info.
Now, which one to buy. I think Meguiars has a clay bar. I'll need to get back to my old ways.

1. Wash
2. Claybar
3. Wash again
4. Polish (Meguiars)
5. NXT Wax (Meguiars again)

I was stationed in Iceland too long and lost my way.

Yep, they do have a claybar.

Meguiar’s Quik Clay Detailing System safely restores a smooth-as-glass feel to your paint by removing bonded contaminants from the surface. The clay bar safely traps and lifts-off contaminants as you lubricate the surface with Quik Detailer (included).

I'm glad I could bring you back to your old ways. I've never used a claybar before, but from what I had read I figured it probably would work. Let us know how it works!

I picked up a Mothers Clay Bar, couldn't find a Meguiars one. I also picked up Step 2 Meguiars Polish. I won't be able to work on the car until Friday but I am taking the day off, I see alot of detailing happening on Friday.
