I been trying to tell y'all for years how easy it is with the wheel...

Napa has them in stock in most stores and if not can get them from their warehouse in a day or two. Only problem is that they want almost $30 for it.
I was up in Ga. in September and helped a buddy debadge his truck. He didn't want to order one online and wait a couple days for it and we were able to walk into the local O'Reillys and get one for $25.

I did a group buy not long ago and they ended up costing $12 shipped. There are numerous sources online where they are around $10 before shipping.

I clayed my truck a few weeks ago, man that was the best thing I've done for my paint in years. It looks better than new. So smooth, and glossy....looks like a mirror. If you haven't tried a clay bar yet, your missing out......big time!
I used goo gone and some rubbing alcohol but it was a PITA but I was very determined and did not want to wait or drive anywhere. The wheel would have been a much better choice.

Ditto, I did mine by hand and it took most of the day and a couple six-packs. A real pain to get it right. But worth it IMHO..

I think I'll wait till I get the wheel. Has anyone tried wet sanding that crap off? I detailed cars for a living for several years. Still do it on the side actually. LOL. That clay bar works good, but it's still no replacement for a good thorough wet sanding and buffing. LOL. As soon as I find some stinking 3K grit wet sandpaper i'm gonna hit my paint up. I'm tired of seeing like dimples in the reflection of light in my paint. I mean, it looks like glass, feels like it too. But, it's not perfect. LOL, I do have a lil O.C.D. in me that gets out every once in a while. LOL.
