Go to a Checkers or place like that and buy a clay bar. It will clean it up nice.

<--- seconds the ClayBar. In fact, I think Neo was the one who told me, too. hehe.
Made my paint feel smooth as glass. Was my one and only experience in favor of anything with "as seen on TV" on it.

Clay Bar.

Zaino Z18- awesome. most durable. Z7 Car Wash and water mix for lubricant.

Clay Magic- good, but really sticky. Comes with its own lubricant.

Mothers Clay Bar- fell apart in my hand. I think Mothers has a lubricant for the clay bar, not totally sure. Use very mild soap/water mix for lubricant if not.
