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.

I start with the Mothers clay bar system (glad you guys chimed in when I asked about clay'n). Then the PS21 paint cleaner combined with Mequires scratch remover. 50/50 dab of each on a soft cotton cloth really brings out the luster in the paint. Tried the Tech wax by Mequires and am very satisfied with the end result. I don't let any of the products dry on. Then wipe it off soon as it's applied & buff by hand. The PS21 wax looks great for a show, but it doesn't last long. PS21 wheel cleaner.. be carefull it can stain your wheels. The Griots products I tried I really like; rubber cleaner, tire dressing, and chrome wheel cleaner.
