DO NOT USE A MAGIC ERASER
Get yourself a clay bar kit, you can get them at pretty much any auto parts store. My favorite is this Meguiars one. It's designed specifically for things like this and will clearly and safely remove the contamination.
Auto clay. It comes in a kit with a lubricant. Spray it on and rub the clay on the window and it takes all of it off. Very cool stuff.cleaned off my car windows that were covered in spots, even after washing and trying several products. Runs about 20 bucks.

Only my second time doing it, so I'm no expert.
I bought the Mequires clay kit.
Washed the car thoroughly.
Dried with a chamois.
Started with the roof because it's the hardest part, it had tree sap and would require additional work, and I'm putting a roof rack on soon.
You want to do this in the shade for many reasons, but the biggest reason is you want the panels cool so the spray solution stays on the panel longer. It's a lubricant of sorts so the clay slides easier.
Work the clay over the entire panel, spraying more solution as needed. I recommend doing small sections at a time.
Periodically wipe the section down with the supplied microfiber cloth and inspect your work. You should feel an obvious difference between a clayed area and an untouched area.
Once you've completed the job, apply wax so the paint is protected. I have always used carnauba paste waxes so I stuck with Meguiar's Gold Class. Paste is more difficult to apply but I feel I get better application than liquid.
I also mask off the edges of the plastic and trim because wax is a PITA to remove from them. And I can be a little sloppy with the application.
I'll try and get some before and after close-up pictures when I do another panel.
It’s very straightforward but time consuming. This is similar to what I used.

Detailing noob looking to give my truck some TLC. Would a sealant like this be used instead of a wax? I recently washed it, then clay bar'd it. After the clay, I used this buffer to wax it with chem guys butter wet wax
After reading this popular thread my suspisions that the wax was over-priced and over-smelly were confirmed and have been looking for better options.
Thanks for your feedback - I've read the wikki but I like interaction on these kinds of questions
Brand new to auto detailing. I'm a little overwhelmed, but I think I'm ready to start.
My plan is to wash, decon, wash, clay, and finally seal.
I've decided to not get into polishing right now. I do have some scratches and blemishes that I'm trying to ignore for now. Can I address these down the road or will I be making a mistake by sealing before polishing? I know of a good polisher, there are just so many choices for cutting/polishing solutions and pads that I want to avoid polishing for now.
Please tell me where I'm wrong/what I can do to improve.
Thanks!
