The way to identify areas needing clay bar is to put your hand in a baggie and lightly run it over the surface. You will be shocked at the difference..

I've also heard it works just as well to run your fingertips over a wet panel. Same type of effect where the imperfections are amplified on your fingertips by the low friction/resistance of the water insead of a bag.

I applied it a few weeks ago. Water still beads; actually rolls off in sheets. Time will tell, but I'll try to get another coat on before the NE Winter gets ugly

I also applied it about two weeks ago after getting my Maverick. First I washed the little beastie with the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic wash. Looks nice but I am done until spring.
I watched that video, too, and then tried the Turtle Wax stuff. So far very happy with it -- I did clay the car first as it felt like it needed it. Washed the truck for the first time yesterday and it cleaned up very nicely and water just beaded off. I plan to give it a second coat for added protection but I'm waiting until it cools down here in FL.

I use this, probably the same as the OP:

You could do a little spot treatment with the spray version of that, in my opinion that would be the best to keep them the same. That is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R5QH6H6
