    Yes.

    Only run the clay "away from" the edges.

    Not "into" the edges.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    They are gloss vinyl from your photo. You can use a polishing pad to start out with and the same polish you will use in the paint. Do a small test spot first.

    I appreciate all the help!

    Are you guys recommending trying the 3D speed over my Wolfgang total swirl remover followed by finishing glaze, then there paint sealant?

    I've never used the Wolfgang brand so can't give an honest comparison. If that's something you already have then I would probably use it.

    If you want to save some time you could use a ceramic spray on that last step.
