I second the suggestion to use a Clay Bar. I have tried it on a several cars and it made a HUGE difference. The paint afterward is smooth and slick and this was even before putting any kind of wax on it. All the warnings about using a clay bar are very important. Divide your bar into several smaller pieces so if you drop it on the ground, you throw it away! Make sure you have some sort of lubricant -- whether it’s a specific clay bar solution or just some nice soapy water. It takes a long time, but it is well worth it!

It’s very, very rare that you’ll ever need to do something that extreme. -D > On May 26, 2017, at 4:33 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I'm going to wash it in the morning and I'll take some pics.
