Hello,
We have a car we bought brand new a month and a half ago. We just put 7500 miles on it for a long American road trip. The car was so new I never had a chance to apply wax before we embarked and I depended on the dealer prep spray wax to help protect the finish.
The car got covered with a layer of bugs and we were traveling so much I didn't have a chance to wash it thoroughly until we returned.
I have washed the car using a lot of soaking time before trying to remove the bugs, and it has worked well.
I tried a coat of Ultimate Paste Wax and it showed me that there were still some bug "spots" that I need to work out.
What's the best step for a new car that has had a hard first month?
Clay bar? Ultimate Polish? Ultimate Compound?
I am used to using cheap cleaner/wax paste, and think it would have taken care of the bug spots, but want to start this car with a regimen with Meguiar's Ultimate Paste and it seems to need some extra prep work.
I had never heard of a clay bar and assume it is just a contemporary way to deliver "rouge" or light compound.
What would you recommend?
Thank you.
