Wash, follow with clay then a paint cleaner. Finally a polish and wax. Should look close to like new when you finish.

I can attest to the clay bar cleaning. I just did it to my Crystal White GS and every single little black speck came out. Took me five hours but it was well worth it. I used the Mothers Clay Bar kit and just ignored the little tiny bottle that came with. Im following it up with a few coats of Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze, and then the Meguire's Gold class liquid wax.
