Yes, wash and dry it with clean towels, preferably microfiber. Meguirs sells a "cleaner wax" that works great on small scratches. If they are deeper try their product called Scratch X. The next time around you can use a regular wax of your choice.
The clay bar they are referring to is by far the best, but is labor intensive.
When you apply the wax, follow the instructions on the bottle and you'll get great results. Be sure to keep switching to a clean microfiber towel or buffing pad as you are buffing it for best results. Good luck and let's see an after pic.

I wash mine every Sunday (hand wash), then twice a year the fall and in spring I take the truck to a local detail shop to have the truck cleaned too to bottom . It takes the a full day to do and they charge $150

Default Zaino

I have been using Zaino bros products. they are easy to use and give great results. the best part you put it on everything rubber plastic and it works great.

The nanoskin sponges are much easier than claying. Not sure if you can find it locally though. http://www.autogeek.net/nanoskin-car-care-products.html

I'm a fan of Blackfires line but I've never seen them local either-- http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-car-care.html

I thought it was you that was using the Zaino products, thus z16 is a zaino wheel shine. Duragloss makes a tire shine that is super similiar, and that can be found at some Autopart stores. I don't recall its name.

Cheers,
GREG
