The car started out clean.
Note, the wheels were removed a few weeks previously, decontaminated, cleaned, and the Optimum Gloss-Coat Paint Coating was applied at that time.

Re: 2017 Ruby Red GT350 Paint Decontamination, Paint Correction, Ceramic Seal
On Friday the weather was dreary but I was able to complete the paint decontamination process before the rain.
First I utilized the Griot's Garage Iron and Fallout Remover. Normally I complete everything from top down but to avoid getting too much water on the lower panels of the car I went from the bottom up. I liberally sprayed the product to one panel at a time, waited three minutes, agitated the product with a soft sponge, waited until the product started to show signs of hazing which was previous to the recommended three minutes, and rinsed the panel well with a garden hose. This was completed top to bottom always keeping the thoroughly rinsed and wet.
Next I utilized a Griot's Garage Yellow Clay Bar Mitt while the car was still wet from the rinse. I also applied a mist of Griot's Garage Speed Shine. Once the car was completed I was disappointed with the feel of the paint after drying it. I followed with the Clay Bar Mitt and Speed Shine. The car felt better to the touch but I was very disappointed to find the paint failed the baggie test in a big way. I guess the paint on this new car was worse off than I imagined.
Finally I went old school. I broke out a new Pinnacle Clay Bar and utilized Pinnacle Clay Bar Lube on the entire car. Finally, the result I was wanting. The car was ready for paint correction.
(I attempted to post photos but technology is not my friend right now, I will keep trying later)

Chemical decon is never a be all end all, the clay bar/mit should always be followed up with. I'm surprised that on such a new car it failed the baggie test after iron remover and yellow Griots wipings. In the end, the clay bar finished off the task, a 3 part decon!
