How do you clean paint?

[TWISTER]

I bought a t type that is grey and it has a older repaint and even after wax it feels rough and some scratches are still there, Is there a way to remidy this? Clay bar? Ive heard of wet sanding or color sanding but dont know how. Any advice. Thanks.

I would not recommend a wet sand on ur own if ur not familiar doing it. I would definately start out with a good clay job tho.

if u can use silly putty, you can clay bar your car...super easy...i use Griots Garage clay bar

Use a clay bar, it should take away some of the roughness. it takes time and some elbow grease but as i said beore, should make it better

Agreed 110%

Grab a clay bar and use that. Basically you rub along the paint while keeping it lubricated and this will remove embedded junk in the paint.

Next, grab a buffer and some polish and have at it.

There's another post in this section where I posted my favorite paint care products. That should help get you started too

Clay bar

With alot of soapy water so the clay slides easily. If you use dawn liquid soap, it will help strip off the old waxes and oils that are on the paint.
