Need help for some boo boo...

Experts,
I finished my 1st detailing of my G yesterday. Make a few mistakes and have some questions hoping you guys could help shine some light on the G to make it even more shiny.

1) I have clay trap in some of the gaps around the sunroof when I clayed the glass. How do I get rid of them?

2) This is my big boo boo, I have a clear bra installed...while claying yesterday, I have clay trap in one of the edge. I dried to rub it out with my green micro fiber and not the edge is both yellow(clay) and green. Not only that, I must have rubbed it too hard. the edge turned rough and the small area is scratchy. What can I do?

3) I found a lot of dimples and rock damage on my wiindshield, does your G have them? What to do?

4) What is the best way to clean the synthetic wax applicator? It's really oily.

Anyone can help?

Also, any recommendation on how to clean floor mat? What products?
How about some product recommendation for tire dressing?

Would really appreciate it.

Thx

1)use your fingernail and just clean it out, or wash the car. it'll come out

2)IMO clear bras are a waste of money, get it taken off

3)call safelight repair if they are bad, otherwise yes it happens

4) use this stuff to clean the applicators Lake Country Snappy Clean Pad Cleaner | Detailed Image

it works like a charm!

for the floormats, try either of these:
303 High Tech Fabric Guard - 16 oz | Detailed Image
303 Cleaner & Spot Remover - 32 oz | Detailed Image

For tires, use this...awesome product
Blackfire Long Lasting Tire Gel with Polycharger - 16 oz | Detailed Image

i have a clear bra, and my installer told me whenever the edges get dirty, take a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol, and carefully run it along the edge. try not to get any on the clearcoat as i dont know what would happen.

That sounds pretty impossible...the edge
is the paint, and the paint is the clear coat...

Actually, I used q-tip to clean dirt out of edges,
and it works for most. Couple of them seem to
have dirt trapped inside/underneath, I couldn't get them out. How would alchohol work on those?

Clean clay remnants from cracks with a toothpick or needle CAREFULLY. Alcohol won't hurt your clear coat or clear bra. If you've made the edges rough I don't know that there's anything you can do about it. Clean wax applicators by soaking them in a bucket of water with Snappy Clean pad cleaner mixed in. Also you can soak them in alcohol which will work as well, then wash them out.
