Default need a little help!!!

i have a black fiesta rs turbo,

my girlfriend washed my car today and after she had washed it the paint work felt very gritty( it hasnt been washed in awhile because i had a operation on my knee 3 weeks ago)

it also has specks of what seems to be fence paint of it from when my neighbour sprayed their fence the other week, it does seem to come off if you scratch if off with your nail. but i'm not standing there all day doing that

so out come the polish but it didnt bring any of it off and the paint work still feels very gritty

so my question is what do you suggest?????

any help will be much appreciated

cheers

chris

Hello mate.

Clay the car carefully with a moderate strength bar, using a good lubricant. Then, polish the car, possibly with an abrasive polish depending on the severity of what's left behind. A good claying session should help pull out most of the problems, and an abrasive polish should sort the rest

Anything small problem areas remaining could be sorted with a tar remover or something similar as a last resort.
