Here's what I used. Similar procedure to clay bar but comes as a liquid. You don't have to worry about dropping the clay and contaminating it, and the "lubricant" is built in.

I used Mother's Clay bar on my wife's Escape and used Griot's Garages clay bar on my 8. The Griot's garage claybar worked a little better, but was a lot stickier on my hands. It was definally worth the work. You can order it from www.griotsgarage.com under the car care section.

Hey Nubo that HD cleanse is good stuff I think it's the best = look no swirls. Wanted to know which Zymol wax you were using? I'm using the Japon.

I used the clay bar for the first time this weekend. Amazing! My 8 is only a week old, and the car had a better finish when I was done than when the dealer handed me the keys.

Yes indeed! When I started clay baring my car I thought, "well this is dumb, the car is new, what good is this going to do?" After using it on a small section the difference was obvious, the paint felt like glass, unbelievably smooth. It makes a great start for a high polish shine.
