your car will be VERY smooth after this.

Claybar should eliminate this roughness, if it is indeed roughness on the clear coat, and not just pits and chips that are barely visible to the eye.

davisvan... your clear coat will not disapear!
the only thing that will take it down is a high grit polish or compound (such as rubbing compound).
excellent info on claying:

When you run your hand over your paint and you feel little specks you should clay bar. Clary bar should get rid of the roughness.
