paint cleaning/buffing suggestion

[mark b]

To make a long story short and skip some details...

I have a TTA that had a few sections repainted about 1 year ago. It has been indoors all this time time except recently it was outdoors and got wet and dirty.

Should I just wash it and wax it, or should I use a pre-cleaner like Meguirs? Or should I use something like a light compound - like the old Dupont 7 stuff? It's been so long I don't even know what's out there these days!

A year ago the painter said I did not need to compound or buff it out, but I'm wondering if a year worth of dust and dirt would make a difference.

if there are little to no scratches and on some relatively new paint, i would hand wash it, claybar it then wax it.

Oops, my bad.
Thanks for the correction, Brian. I put it in my favorites without really looking at the addy. There should be 2 of me sometimes.
