rodrigo Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 It was the first of what I consider a really nice day. A perfect day to try out the clay bar kit I bought about 2 months ago. Although the pictures don't give it too much justice, (and Im ot trying to talk myself up) it really looks stunning in person. The procedure:Hand wash with Mothers Cali GoldHand dry with absorberUse clay bar from Maguiars kitWipe car down, and let dry with Maguiars towelApply wax with terry cloth pad, and buff off old white t-shirt Apply Maguiars Detail spray and buff off with Maguiars towel Apply Back to BlackApply GLass cleaner and wipeApply Tire black stuffI cant feel my arms.

rodrigo Posted April 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 The car is looking nice Rod Was there a lot of crap on the clay bar from the paint?Nope When I did the roof, which was a pain in the butt, since I am about 5'-5", I noticed the clay bar got a little dirty, but for the most part, it was pretty clean. The most noticeable difference was in the way the paint felt. It went from kinda squeaky to smooooooooth and soft.I just went out and rubbed it down again because I love the way it feels under the towel My arms are shot, though. I need to hit the Gym!!!
