I can't focus on the car, those rim's are so nice =x, That does look really nice though, I can't wait till the weather clears soon ............ I would do my car today but it's supposed to rain the next 2 days, and then 1 clear day, and rain for 3 days again ........ I just want to use my zaino so bad

thanks everyone for your comments!

here is a pic i took last week i think




i got the meguiars clay bar kit and it didnt say about cutting it into three pieces, and the bar wasnt graded either. so i dunno about that one factor

My car looks, by no means, as good as yours, but here is my try with the clay bar. I was impressed, I have never had results this good. I usually just use the paint cleaner, clay bar the extra dirty spots, and then wax. However, doing the whole car really made a difference. I don't have the factory paint, the first owner had the whole car sprayed and it looks like total @#$#@, but this really helped.

This time I did the clay bar, followed by the paint cleaner, and then the wax. There is a pic of everything I used.

Once again thanks for the idea DonJuanM.

oh and sorry the camera lense was a little dirty

fahrfegneugen - whats good with the peanut butter. hahahahaha

It gets the wax off of the plastic, like around the mirrors and the back bumper.

I made a sandwich when I was done too.

DJM is right though, takes about 3-4 hours, but its fun.

I know about the peanut butter trick, but please tell me you didn't use the Joy?
It maybe the best choice of dishwashing soap to use on a car, but go buy some good carwash.

dishwashing soap is supposed to take the old wax off.

Brain-fart on my part.

fahrfegneugen

Actually I ate the soap and washed the car with the peanut butter

Dude that looks really good. Its a satisfying feeling when your done too well worth the time. I love the reflections off your car. Did you use it on the headlights too. I found it to be really good for making them smooth again. A lot better than toothpaste!

fahrfegneugen

^
Yeah I did, it worked well to clean out the little specs that were all over them and got some of the dullness out. I should go check how smooth they are.

I had never heard of using toothpaste...

Wax on...Wax off...

looks good!!!!

for me, nah, I go to the gym four to five times a week and I wax for money/job occasionally. When I was not use to it though, yeah it could hurt, kind of like tennis elbow. But my bigger problem was with the tech waxes drying my hands out, so I switched to the "all natural" wax.

car looks amazing! glad you had the time to clay it. i like the chop of the skirts too.
thinking about the MS ones?

If you take your car to a Pro do they use the clay bar or not ? It looks good but that looks like a lot of work. Sometimes I'll spend 1 and half hour washing the car but you guys went beyond .

If it didn't state what it was, it's the mild bar.
They say to seperate the bar in 3 pieces because if you drop one piece you throw it out. You still have 2 good segements left.
If you drop the whole bar and pick up debris, do you want that crap marking up your clearcoat/paint? I don't think so...

It's a best pratice sort of thing..
