:iagree: you need cutting polish to get light scuffs and bird droppings out :tup: then fallow it up with either one or tow grades of finishing polish to clean it up real nice!

Well what the heck removes scuffs and possible bird poo marks?

Seriously? :icon14: I paid $49 this morning for a handwash so I could start the clay today. :icon14::ugh2:

the clay will remove most of the dirt on the surface, but then you need to do a quick wash, then re-apply wax on the surface.

Also, make sure you fold & knead then flatten the clay bar when the clay bar gets dirty...

also might want to get a DA polisher if you are getting into detailing your Z, they work awesome and make work easier when using polishes :tup:

I'm probably not doing it right. Oh well. It's still not getting rid of any scuff marks or what look like bird crap spots.

Clay won't remove scuff or scratches, and if you don't clay the surface correctly, you might end up with more swirls...

detailing is a lot of work but if you enjoy it like I do it can be fun and actually something you become addicted to, I know I am :ugh2:
