Wow folks I spent today detailing my car. I washed it did the 50/50 water\rubbing alcohol and then the clay bar\detailer. I had no idea that the results would be that good! I am amazed. For those of you who have never done it, I highly recommend it. I was blown away by how much sh&t the clay bar picked up off my paint. and a cheers to RBull as well.

 

Did you polish and wax it after?

I too was blown away the first time I used a clay bar, it's even more impressive on a silver car that you think is really clean. Silver hides it so well.

 

Noobie question, whats a claybar? i NEVER clean my car.

 

It is literal. It is an actual bar of clay that you use over the car with some kind of lubricant to remove surface comtaminants from your paint.

I have my clay bar kit but am going to be looking into getting some polish aswell to remove the swirl marks so that I can try it by hand before getting a polisher, so I will clay polish 3 times, wax.

 

pictures!!!!!

 

You're welcome.

Excellent!!


Glad it worked well! You would be equally or even more amazed if you had a PC and did a 2 step polish.

 

Well I don't know about pics supposed to rain here tomorrow and I never had time to put a good coat of wax on. I had to go over the car twice just to accomplish what I did today. Will try in the morning to wax it and will post pics if I can. And yes silver hides contaminants well, black must be even worse.

 

Did you get that ran that was expected? I waxed my car and everything today it spit two drops then it was like 25 degrees for the rest of the day. wtf..

28 tomorrow and the rest of the weekend into mid next week

 

No rain here yesterday. Sunny around 19 but quite windy. Today 90% rain high of 15

 

It's like 28 degrees here, one reason I wish I had willow interior.

 

But when you have willow interior you are going to want black.....Trust me!

 

Ill have to try that for the first wash of the spring.

 

Yea when I was looking I was set on black.

Stone would be the ultimate though. I love that combo.

 

Didn't manage to get a wax on. But here are the pics.
