OC was done professionally and it was decontaminated before it was applied. I have never clayed the car until now.

I think claying/autoscrub sponge once a year should be safe on OC. I did use the fine grade sponge.

I'm in the same situation as you @sprintertrueno86. My OC was done professionally beginning of last year. Water still beads very well and I can dry my whole car with one towel, but now I'm starting to see black dots around the wheel arches (from tires???). I wanted to see if claybar can clear those up.
