you need cutting polish to get light scuffs and bird droppings out

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?

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

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

Guess I'm picking up some Meguiars paint cleaner and more wax tonight. Hopefully I have time to clean the exhaust and interior tomorrow. JAR should come help.
