    claying then waxing issue

    I finally got around to washing and claying my Highlander. I used NO RINSE WASH & SHINE for the wetting according to the bottle.
    When finished, the surface felt very smooth.
    I then applied KLASSE ALL_IN_ONE.
    When finished, there are tactile spots, mostly invisible, as if I never clayed it. I can remove them scrapping my fingernail over them.
    It was done in my driveway, but I find it hard to believe all that just settles on the HL in a matter of hours.
    What should I do?
    I want to finish it off with KLASSE HIGH GLOSS SEALANT?

    What method did you use to "feel" the surface to determine it was smooth?

    You might be surprised what can settle on a car in a matter of hours

    Just my hands. I guess I am surprised. I guess I need to clay it again. Do you think the ALL_IN_ONE will survive that?

    Put your hand in a plastic bag and then feel the paint, especially on the rear bumper where a lot of contamination accumulates.

    Did you polish after claying?

    And no, the AIO will not survive the claying.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    ^^^^^ This ^^^^^

    What he said

    Your bare skin will lie every time

    It will feel smooth until you use a baggie or cellophane

    Then what felt smooth will feel like gravel until you get every last bit of mung off the paint
