thanks for the input. i don't think dawn or alcohol will strip off the klasse though. and i'm not sure if the clay would even penetrate the SG if i didn't remove it first. the stuff is tough but, i like because the so cal air is so filthy.
T2NAV is thinking along my inital lines so far. i just worry that that claying and buffing could introduce new swirls after i polish.
then again ken (i guess he didn't recommend hydro because i'm going to use swirl

) may have a point in the classic approach assuming the clay will even work over the SG.
thanks so far guys for the ideas. planning on getting the PC fairly soon. any more ideas are welcome.
