clay bar will work you just have to be careful cause of silver is a very light color andf the clear coat is a bit weaker then lets say black\red it will work just be careful whne you use it

Clay bar it and then buff the hell out of it. I reccomend a four stage buff with carnbel (sp?) wax. Add more if needed.

The clay bar was kinda tedious but workd better than I could have imagined. And if you run out of the included spray or whatever you can use meguiars quick detailer if you have it.

You'll be buying a new clear coat :yes:

If it's not really noticeable I'd just live with it. Or take to to some place that does it a lot. It's easy to mess up a paintjob.

WTF is a Carnbel wax? A wax made of caramels? Hmm not only good for the paint, but it tastes good too !!


ps. do you mean carnauba or carnuba?
