Over the past weekend my wife bought home a 03 Black GT, it was a 4,000 mile demo, they didnt take very good care of it, I washed it then I used Meguiars cleaner wax on it, after that I used Meguiars Hi-Tech yellow wax No. 26. It had a nice shine, but when I rubbed my hand over the paint, it feels rough, I was wondering if I should go over it with a clay bar.

Any suggestions would help.

Do the clay bar then a paint cleaner, Meguiars makes some good ones. Then use Meguiars #7 polish and then the #26 wax.
