Thanks, but I’ll probably just go ahead and clay bar the whole car and wax it. God knows the paint of that car needs some loving anyways… Yeah Corey, it’s my wife’s 2003 Mazda Protege. Definitely underloved. Handles and brakes so nicely… ---

I know they have claymagic blue at the autozone on main street in the city, at least they did a week ago, they had 3 kits on the shelf. $12.99 for a bar/lube kit. And I agree the clay magic blue owns mothers and maguires clay kits… ---

I would try “Bug and Tar” remover first (Autozone) Let it soak a bit and the wipe off. Its easier and way milder then a clay bar.
