clay bar. its awesome. use it lightly like a bubblegum erason on paper. once its start malforming and getting dirty just fold it in upon its self or pull off the dirty bits. easy on paint and its fast. i dont think there is anything better. i like zaino's clay bar. tried another one that i cant remember the company and it didnt work as well... kinda reminds me of hard tires vs soft tires. more traction with the zaino one but less longevity

i used to have a fab one. i'll see if i can dig it up. and no, no prep work, wash the car and get off as much as possible, dry completely, then work the magic stick

I'll edit when i find the link.

EDIT - Found it! http://www.bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=14
