Default Question about deep cleaning paint?

Just bought another 93. The paint is awesome but on the front end I have quite a few bug splatters that are in the paint pretty good. Would a clay bar take care of this. They seem pretty deep.

You can try the claybar to see what happens. I think bug and tar remover or a good cleaner wax will work as well.

Mother claybar kit (Can be bought at Autozone or Kregan) works extreemly well. I had deep dirt specs in my white 95' because it had sat under a very sappy tree for almost a couple years. The clay bar toom them right out. I had buffed that car with a Craftsman buffer before and not gotten even close results to the claybay. The showroom finish spray is a very important key, I suggest buying an extra bottle and use it alot. That Friday when I took my car out I had some kids leaned out a dodge truck and yelled "THATS THE CLEANEST STANG I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!" Of course I spent 10 hours doing the entire car making it perfect, but you get the piture.

If you have any kind of clear coat damange you need to invest in some TR3. It can be purchased at Autozone or Rebies for around $6 bux. Its a resign that repairs your clearcoat, I used it on my 75 Elky that had no clear left and it made it look like it had clear again. Thats some good stuff. There are different types of TR3 so get the clear coat repair kit.

Show us some pix when you get it done.

NOTHING in the world works better than this, trust me! Take a clay bar and pour some bug and tar directly on it and then rub it on the area and use a microfiber to remove. Wax the area and stand back and admire
