Thanks for the beta, Fray. I'm going to get a claybar and do my car.

Does claying remove small micro-scratches?

I just bought some Zaino clay.

No, claying only lifts the contaminants. It doesn't do anything to enhance the surface. Micro-scratches will have to be addressed with a polish.

FYI
Gliptone makes some over the counter clay for a decent price. Two bars for $15 in a nifty jar that will keep the clay from drying out. Think I got it at R&S Strauss.
