clay bar question
i've used one before with no problems but a have a certain situation....
i washed, polished (glaze #7) and waxed (gold class) my car today and was a totally happy camper. unfortunately, we were painting a new bumper for my dad's 4runnner in the garage.
the paint mist floated onto my car and now it feels pretty rough. i tried using some quick detailer but it didn't help much. i'm pretty sure a clay bar should take off the crap but me question is......
will I have to repolish and rewax my car again after I use the clay bar? i only ask this because i just polished/waxed it today

Rep Power: 322 Yeah, the Clay bar should work very well for you problem. Clay bars do remove everythign from teh paint, even the wax, so be sure to wax it again after you're done.
