I have a 97 black Grand Prix w/ 120,000 miles on it. I thought I took pretty good care of my car until I found this forum.

Anyway a friend of mine works for Mercedez and he gave me some Meguires products. I washed my car with Dawn, then used the paint cleaning product and after that washed it again with a shampoo. When I run my fingers on the paint it feels gritty, is this normal? Would claying the car clean the paint better or do I need a something stronger?

Afterwards I used the all in one wax and the car is smoother and looks great but I want it to feel silky smooth.
