Default Sandy Surface, what should I use?

I have always been anal about cleaning/washing/waxing so I am pretty good at keeping the car clean/wax.

370 as a secondary car and we were renovating the living room with spackle and sanding, I was dirty so I did not drive the car the whole week. Now even I washed it, there's a very thin layer (you can't see it) of sandy feeling when I run my finger across the paint surface. I have to rub my finger kinda hard a few times then it would come off and feel very smooth again.

What should I use to get this layer of crap of? Turtle Wax Compound Polishing? I am kind of ticked off

Thanks,

You should use a mild clay bar with some QD or car wash solution as a lubricant. My favorite mild clay is Automagic blue clay but there are several good clays out there, this will remove the light overspray/sanding that has adhered to the paint and since it is mild clay, it will not mar the paint either.
