This car is relatively new to the current owner and is used as a auto-cross car. The new owner wanted me to remove the sticky residue left by the stickers from racing. The clear coat felt very dry and lacked nutrients and the paint condition overall was poor. Thank you to the Meguiars community for suggesting WD40 to remove the sticky residue as it did the trick!
