Welcome to the board!

Zymol offers some of the best products for car care, but there should be a lot of others on the market. I doubt that the car would need to be resprayed. You may want to take the car to a specialist shop that details cars, as they should be able to do the polishing.

Cheers, Daniel.

A clay bar only takes off overspray and minor road elements from the paint. Hand polishing will not do it also.... my best advise is to have someone who knows how to use a high speed buffer.3M compound with a wool pad and a 3M polish with a foam pad then hand wax it by hand to seal the paint.

it depends on the clay bar which type you use and smooth medium or hard.
