Thumbs up Cleaned her up...you'll appreciate it

I got flamed for the longest time for my beloved decal on the back of my car. I decided to take it off today. Not that I didn't like it...and not that anybody influnced me....I just like change. I did keep the small ones on the side though. Btw....anybody know a good method for little shoe polish specs that washed off from the windows on the paint??? I got tagged big time for graduation, and in hour and a half long process of just getting the stuff off my windows, some got on various parts of the car, and I'm not gonna use something stupid like alcohol. Advice????

Here's the pics....
Sorry for the crappy quality; i just happened to snap them real quick....


Before...


After...

i dont think alcohol would do any harm if anything probably just strip your wax. if its really ground in there use a clay bar.

Word. The alcohol won't damage you're paint is exactly what you need to cut through that greasy shoe polish. Use it liberally followed by a wash and wax. A clay bar shouldn't be necessary but if you've never done it, it'd be worth your while.

I just did a clay maybe about a month ago....btw, what's a good time span between clays??? I am particularly anal about cleaning my car.
