Ryan,
My paint isn't very good (it's a 10-footer) but the problem was rough texture and debris in the paint from my trip to FL last month. I wetted the surface of the hood with the lubricant spray, then rubbed the clay in a back-and-forth manner. I dried it with a clean terry towel, then applied Klasse polish/sealer and the paint looks much better and it feels just as smooth as glass. Test a small area, then try it and see what you think, I was amazed at the difference!

Regarding Bon-ami and windshields. In the 60's when I worked at a gas station, we used Bon Ami on customer windshields during rain storms. It totally cleaned the glass and allowed the wipers to work more effectively
Get a wet sponge, sprinkle the Bon-ami on the sponge and clean the windshield, then rinse. Another interesting thing about Bon-Ami is back in 1955 when Chevrolet introduced the 265 V8, they had problems with the piston rings in that they wouldn't seat. Vehicles were recalled and the Chevrolet Mechanics, Per GM instrucitons, poured Bon-Ami down the carburetor while the engine was running. Bon-Ami's advertising states that "it won't scratch" but, it contained enough grit to cause the rings to properly seat against the cylinder walls.

I think Bon-Ami was a last ditch fix for Vega rings also. Which just happen to be alusil. So, who wants to try it?
