Finally got it claybarred.
|
looking good, and I bet it feels great ;)
|
nice, time to do mine again.
|
Nice work, very clean
|
Claybar is great for removing the "nasties". What do put on for sealant/wax after?
|
Nice and shiny!
|
Car looks great and I bet it's really smooth. I'm still waiting to do mine. I have the claybar kit sitting in my garage, but I never had the chance to do it yet.

Nice. Please do my 8.

haha. it took me a full hour and a half.. i need to get a big block of clay

Try using a meguires paint cleaner and swirl remover after the clay bar. Then try one of their waxes or a Mother's wax. You will be even more impressed I think.

Don't forget the Meguiars Polish before the wax to intensify/deepen the color.

Looks so good you inspired me to recon my car after the long cold winter. Finish was still very smooth and did not need to clay though.
Here's my 4 hour process: 1. Wash & Dry 2. Griot's Garage Machine Polish 3 with PC and orange pad 3. Buff by hand 4. Poor Boy's EX-P polish/sealant with PC and polishing pad 5. Buff by hand 6. Natty's Paste Wax Blue by hand 7. Buff by hand 8. Clean RB muffler canisters and tips 9. Apply Back to Black |

well even though my car was all nice and shiny, the exhaust tips were definitely not! So i spent another couple hours today polishing them...by hand. I got the dremel out for the hardcore black buildup, but then I didn't have any more dremel pads so i had to go back to using a rag.... here are the results!
