My paint feels rough to the touch almost like sandpaper.Im thinking it needs a clay bar but my question is can I wait till winter is over which is in about 8 months before I do it without it doing damage to my paint?I just bought the truck and dont know how long its already been like that.
 
Waiting until after winter to do anything with the rough surface might not be a big deal depending on what sort of contamination there is, but depending on where you live leaving it unprotected is what really has the potential to cause more damage.

YUP!

Heat and mositure are the activators of deposits on a paint finish.

An example is the rusting or corrosion of a vehicle, when it's below freezing, the rusting is slowed down.

Pull the vehicle in a heated garage over night and the corrosion gets real agressive until it is pulled out into the cold weather.

Same with contaminates on a paint finish, as these deposits will normally contain some acids, and other corrosives.

Do it before and after the winter. Wouldn't hurt.



Truck's probably been like that for a while. Most people don't know what we know in here or care all that much. They just drive their vehicle and run it through the local car wash once in a while.
 
Clay it if you can. The longer anything sits on your paint, the harder it is to remove.
 
Sure clay it, and as soon as spring comes around, some heat, some moisture, the real "bottom" parts of the partices creating the "roughness" will "bloom" right back.

Clay only "shears" the condition, does not remove the condition or neutralize the acids they generate.

Use the ValuGard ABC system to actually remove and decontaminate the paint.
