Thorough rinse down

Wheels and tires
Foam gun with Adam's Car Wash (repeated this step a few times to ensure we removed the dust without making things worse)
Rinse down
After the rinse we went right to claying the car (we were in a shaded cool area)
Trashed clay bar
After claying we took some readings.
