Clay Bar - Miracle Car cleaner

The other day I washed my P-W Excel and discovered it was covered with tiny dark specks that would not wash off. I ran to the hardware store and picked up a bottle of Turtle Wax Tar and Bug Remover. Nothing. The specks were not budging. I googled "tiny dark specks" and could not determine if they were "brake dust" or "Industrial Fall Out" or what. Unfortunately, I live in the city and have to park outside. There are quite a lot of elm trees in the neighborhood. I found a couple of references to "clay bar", which I had never heard of. Off to the auto parts store. The clerk had no idea what I was asking for, but after searching the cleaning products aisle, I found it. For about $20.00, the box contained 2 bars of clay, two nice microfiber cloths and a bottle of detailing spray cleaner.

It took a couple of days, working a few hours, but the clay removed the specks and left a clean, smooth surface. I applied Carnauba wax, buffed with a microfiber cloth and the paint job looks brand new. Amazing stuff that I will always have on hand. Not sure if the product is available in MX, so I will take a couple extra boxes along.
