    I assume it adds layer of wax and also cleans, but would it work on this?

    Cleaner wax is another term for All In One.

    Thanks The Guz, I’ve never used it. I once got a Mothers cleaner wax and returned it because I wasn’t sure what it would do.

    A Cleaner Wax, also known as an AIO (All-In-One) is simply a product that contains either, or both, a chemical cleaner and/or mild abrasives to clean and polish the paint and some wax or other protective ingredient to leave some protection behind. Hence the name, AIO, as it cleans, polishes, and protects all in one step.

    An AIO may very well be all that's needed in your case and that is a reasonable starting point.

    Do you have any prep washes? High alkaline soaps? Maybe give that a try first. Would be less aggressive than previous mentioned methods. Good place to start.

    Re: Road film is hard to remove, need help?

    Ok I used clay bar from Mothers. Then I polished with Griots Garage complete polish. It looks little better. I still see some small swirls tho.

    There is still film/wax on side of trim. So this makes me feel it could be dry wax since it’s on side. Just a thought?

    Looks much better. The remaining white film might be mineral deposit build-up from your water. Whatever it is if you keep going at it with the clay bar and polish you should be able to remove it all.

    Yeah wax build up or not total removal was my thoughts. I use Mckees coating prep soap and Bilt Hamber Auto Foam. Neither are available on A G

    From AG would recommend griots foaming prep soap. Dp also makes a prep soap
