I had great luck with the mr clean magic eraser for purely SURFACE paint scrapes - like if someone opens a door into you and leaves some bright red paint on your dark cherry car Also, somehow my passenger side mirror had a big white scuff about 3"X3" and the magic eraser took care of it without damaging my car'* paint. It might be something cheap ($3) to consider. It might surprise you like it did for me. Just be sure to keep the eraser really wet while doing it.

where do you get that from?

ok, now i am not really familiar about all these car products, what is a clay bar and is there a certain brand or something?

clay bar is just what it says. its a bar of clay that u use to take contaminants off your paint.

Walmart

Any auto parts store or any store that carries car washes and waxes should have a clay bar by either Meguiars or Clay Magic. Just look for it with the car washes and waxes. I just bought the Clay Magic bar at Autozone for about $8. Meguiars was a smaller bar and cost about twice as much.

ok so it is a bare of clay that i rub on the paint after washing to remove contaminants, does it help for oxidized and burnt paint? like those big white spots where the clearcoat is MIA?

the clay will not help the Ox-ed paint or the burnt paint....the clay actually pulls stuff out of the clear....so if there is no clear you will make the problem worse

ok so don't rub clay on burnt or oxy paint...will make worse...ok now im just scared to even touch the paint....

John...shampoo wise for the carpet, seats, dash, and anything you can think of..Tuff Stuff it'* an aerosol can. You won't regret it...
