paint needs some TLC... detailing advise.
my car was painted in the last year or two (according to the seller), but it sat outside uncovered for a while and it is not in bad shape by any means, but i would like to get it looking better.
so what would work the best?
what exactly is a claybar and how do they work? (as far as results and material).
should i buff the whole car with a light fine cut rubbing compound?
i have a good liquid wax that i plan on using at the end, but what could i do before?

Re: paint needs some TLC... detailing advise.
go to a paint store and they will have and tell you everything u need. they are ther best because the will tell u what u need based on what color you're buff for the best results. don't go to the auto store. u want the chemicals they used at big new/used car dealerships. u know what those new cars look like ,. u can have the look too.
