I feel it on the roof more than anything. Same with my wife's Focus.

Is this something a clay bar fixes or just a wax?

Thanks

Check out this sticky that should answer all your questions.

Simple answer, clay bar is a good place to start.

Go to autozone and buy a claybar kit. It should come with everything you need besides microfiber towels.

Sandpaper, heavy grit....




































I joke I joke..But seriously, clay bar will do it like said above. But make sure you seal/wax it when your done, cuz the clay bar will remove any protection you have on the paint..

Any OTC kitt will work. Just listen to everyone and to rewax or seal it. Once you start claying, Be warned. Detailing is very adicting

I do not like the TW clay. I'd stay away from that kit. The Mother's kit or the Meg's kit is good.

Falcon's video is for sure a great place to start if you have no idea about clay barring.

Hahaha! I spit out the drink in my mouth LOL!

Yeah Clay bar the car and after that do a nice polish and wax to
keep the clean LASTING.

Collinite's No.845 is a wax that will last 5 freakin months!
All the in store wax's have been nothing but disappointment when it comes to longevity to me.

As everyone else said clay bar would def be good to use. Also what i like to do is take a plastic ziplock baggy and put ur hand in it and rub it on the car if the paint feels rough then u know its time for a clay just good info to know eve if u dont think ur car needs one
