I posted this in the "Car Care and Detailing" forum, but will put it here as well.
My '96 E320 probably hasn't had a cleaner/wax put to it in years. Even after washing, the surface feels almost "rough" when running your hand over it. Time to take some action, so, after a fresh washing, should I apply a cleaner to the paint first, then clay bar it, or can I do the clay bar approach first? The paint is in very good condition; I just don't want to mess anything up by doing it wrong. Thanks.
