i was wondering how most of you guys with white cars clean them and keep them looking good?

when i bought the car it had some grease marks, cant get them off. i washed and used turtle wax but not too much luck. little better but not gone.

also i tried taking the factory stripes. they done come off, and when they do they leave marks.







should i try clay and polish?
ive NEVER used either so any tips? this is the plan i have in mind:

wash
usingthis kit pretty much

malhar use a hair dryer to try and heat the pin stripes to peel them off. It will take time but its how I removed mine. Follow that up with some goo gone and then polish it. I have pictures of my car in my profile. I used a porter cable random orbit polisher withe meguiars 105/205 system to polish and the paint looks almost new.

As for the door handles you can remove them and then respray. An easy way to get rid of the small rust spots is to go to walmart and get a bottle of The Works toilet bowl cleaner in the blue bottle. Then put some on a rag and dab it on the rust spots. It has hydrochloric acid in it and it will eat the rust and leave bare metal. Just make sure to wash the area good after and wash you hands good as well. After that just use some touch up paint

sr666 using a good polish should remove the oxidation and bring back the shine. It will take some time but will be worth it
