Re: Road Film - If you drive your car in the rain your car has road film
***Bump***
Just bumping to share with any new members or lurkers.
Out of all the articles I've ever written, this is one of my favorites because it explains the reason why a daily driver needs to be polished and then waxed once in a while or to have a cleaner/wax used once in a while and that is to remove road film.
It's been raining a LOT here in South Florida for the last few weeks so road film is building up on all daily drivers, even daily drivers that were waxes, sealed or coated 4 weeks or longer ago.
A lot of states our coming out of their "wet season" and for this reason a lot of daily driver could use a spring detail to restore the brightness to their car's finish for the summer. Again, by either using a dedicated polish followed by waxing, a sealant or a paint coating.
Or by simply using a one-step cleaner/wax also called an AIO.

I would say “no” not effectively or thoroughly.
Clay first then use a polish to remove embedded dirt.

Sorry i posted my question twice. I have a cold so my brain is not working 100%
What if i clay the car then use pinnacle paintwork cleansing lotion by hand? Would that be enough? I do not like removing paint as much as possible so i am looking for ways to “deep-clean” a car without taking some clear coat off...

Yes. That is a VERY SAFE approach.
See this article,

When I hear the term road film I think of Scott with Dallas Paint Correction and Detailing
