my g35 sedan's paint feels weird :S

Hello everyone, I don't know if this been mention before or not, I may be the only one.

I took the Gsedan out to get her clean up at the local car wash, after drying the car, I ran my finger across the car and felt this sandy feeling, it was pretty rough. was wondering does anyone know what i should do? i was thinking clay bar-N it in the spring.
I need some solid advise from the expert of g35driver

thanks

Clay bar should take car of it. Over time contaminates embed into your paint.

^+2, after you clay bar it you'll be shocked at how smooth it feels. Like a baby's bottom!

Clay is def the answer. If you haven't done it before, this should help.

Yes, it will def swirl or micro mar the paint. Get a california duster and let it sit out on a news paper for a least 2 days. There's a ton of paraffin wax on it that needs to come off so thats why you let it soak into the newspaper for a couple days. When you use a duster DO NOT press down, rather just let the strings hanging down just barley touching the paint and gently brush the dust off. As long as your car is 100% cooled off and you have been using a qd or wax, the dust should come right off and you won't swirl up your paint and then you can qd the car to keep the slickness up.
