OK...now that "pickle" is running well, I wanna turn my attention to her looks (even though she looks pretty damn good right now). I'm a carnuba kinda guy, and use Griots products. I believe in claying too. My question is, since the car is new to me, should I start from scratch by stripping whatever is on there now? I;ve done this before by washing with Dawn, but wondered if I should use a chemical wax stripper...the stuff body shops use to prep a car. Thanks in advance for your wisdom and opinions.

Thanks in advance for your wisdom and opinions. claying the car will strip off all the wax, plus remove a lot of the dirt in the top layer of paint. Pick up the mothers clay kit at your local FLAPS. |

I use Griot's clay with their Speed Shine. Can't imagine that claying removes wax. Really?

Says clay will remove some of the wax. And therefore they recommend throwing on some more Meguire's afterward. Doesn't sound like clay will really get me down to the paint for a fresh start. Thanks though.
