Per the attached three snapshots, I am embarrassed to say that my outdoors-stored 2017 Mazda is full of organics buildup, on never-waxed paint . As Mazda's have extremely thin clearcoat, I would like to poll the Learned members of this forum re how to proceed.
I am willing to accept leaving swirl marks on the dark blue metallic paintwork, instead of trying to polish them out (for fear of wearing off the very thin clearcoat). Would soaking the paintwork in water, moderately hot water, and using a microfiber glove be a way to start? Would a pressure washer held at a distance be of some use? Would claybarring lightly, be a way of trying to "drag" off the buildup... be ok? What about a wet rag with Turtle wax white polish, that old-school stuff, lightly rubbing the surface with soap and a lubricant?
