need help, car paint feels sandy

[yahoo1z]

i wash my car today, (first time washing it myself), i used eagle one car wash and wax-as u-dry, after it dry, i notice the paint is very sandy, not sure when it started, what's wrong, what to do?

Do you mean it feels 'unsmooth' or that there is actually a residual material (aka sand) sticking to the paint?

I want to suggest (and caution against) using a claybar at the same time, depending on the circumstance here.

i dont think there is any sand sticking to the paint, it looks normal but not shiny, when i touch it, feels like sand's every where. the whole car is like that. a clay bar would help??

yeah, take it from a detailer... clay bars is WONDERFUL things...just keep soapy water on the car and bar at all times and knead thouroughly

y this happen anyway, is it normal?

[soullesselantra]

its just dirt and dust that settle in after waxing and normal driving ...its not really IN the paint as much as its sitting on top of it underheath who knows how many coats of wax
