Im looking for a product that will clean the paint on an older vehicle. The paint is in good shape it just needs a good cleaning. Mothers and Meguirs paint cleaner did not do the trick. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I used the Mothers and Meguirs Liquid Cleaner btw. Trying to get some stains left on paint from trees and dirty water.
 






Try Dawn dishwashing detergent. It will remove whatever wax and oils are on your paint. (Zaino actually recommends it...)

If that doesn't work, try a swirl-remover.
 






Yep! Dawn wash will definitely clean up your truck. After the dawn wash, lightly rub your hand on the paint and see if it is rough. If it is, go to Wally World (Wal-Mart) and get the Mothers Clay Bar and Maguiar's Quik Detailing Spray. Once you got the clay bar, tear 1/3 of the clay and spray the QD on the paint then rub the clay over the surface until it is smooth. After that, a good coat or two of high quality wax will make that thing shine like a ****. Check out the result of what I did...
