Washed and somewhat claybared. I mixed what my dad taught with what Ammo NYC suggested. It's still a 10-15' paint job at best; people have opened their doors into my car and it's evident if you get closer.

I also got an interview off a Craigslist posting. Only problem? Company never listed their name, so I had to perform some clever Google searches. Here's to hoping it's who I think it is.

Very nice. White can be an arse to keep clean but when it is, it's worth the effort. Did you wax or seal after?

I skipped waxing as the trees above started dropping pollen and it was getting kinda late. Plus the paint looks kinda nasty...there's still a lot of old buildup I couldn't clay off. Is it okay to put wax over that?

For heavy build up attack it with a good tar and glue remover and it should just wipe off.

Not really recommended to wax if contamination is still there but won't do any harm other than you'll need to strip the wax off before you can continue the decon process. I use the multi pronged attack, snow foam, rinse, shampoo, rinse, de-tar, rinse, de-ironise, rinse, shampoo, rinse, polyshave block (updated more economical than claying), rinse, shampoo, rinse, dry and seal with an easy to use sealant.

CarPro Hydro2, Gyeon Wetcoat can be applied to a wet car and pressure washed to activate the sealant and then drive for a few minutes or dry with a microfibre towel. Gtechniq C2v3 is a great sealant and very easy to use, spray and wipe on and then wipe and buff off, job done. Leaves a waxed look thats slick to the touch and pretty much self cleaning.
