make sure you wax your car after the claybar, it will feel so much smoother and smell delicious:D
|
LOL, I still get blown away every time I clay the car. The IP just pops like crazy after a good clay.
|
I cant believe you guys still like IP after claying it. :thewave:
I think it took me four hours last time to do and I still kept seeing spots it was making me crazy, but the results after were excellent. Just did a quick run over the other day before polishing and my paint is still shiney with the exception of bug splats from driving to and from radium this weekend, a wonderful drive i might add. |
I clay barred my G about two months ago and was amazed. It is a must have for detailing. :biggthumpup:
|
I am going to clay bar mine as soon as its on the road again.....if it ever runs that is.
|
Good stuff, Adam. If you want the PC for this weekend, better grab it by Tuesday night since I'm gone after that til late Sunday.
|
Which clay bar are you using? I have had great results with the Meguiars Clay Bar
|
Anyone ever tried this Surf City Garage -Beyond Clay
My car is done every year using the conventional clay method. I am just curious if this product works. I saw them using on TV. I think it was on Two Guys Garage. |
Looks more like a polish to me... :dunno:
|
I'm using this:
Clay Bar From Canadian Tire I might go for a rince at douglasdale carwash tonight after work so that I can keep going on it. Hit that rainstorm yesterday and picked up some dirt.... |

I'm only 1/2 to 3/4 done. And trust me. My car is riddled with rail dust and horrible black and rusty containments.

I believe they just look like scratches...but are surface scuffs of...well, who knows what.... I can't think of what would be on people's hands that would make those marks but clearly they were there. Anyway.. Let me finish and you'll see what I was talkin about...

The claying is complete and I'm beat.. I feel like karate kit with the dam wax on wax off rubber arms... No point in taking pics yet since there is clay residue all over the car and I'm not equiped to get it all off tonight.. I'm going to try tomorrow or the next day depending on my time. Woot, no more rust particles or crap in my paint!
|
wow.... you're our resident clay champ.
She must have been really embedded with crap too spend that kind of time on it. lol... your rubber arms must be aching today. |
It was really bad. The guy I bought it from in SOCAL must have lived close to the rails or something. It was like orange flake. And I didn't even do the front spoiler of the car.... too many rock chips. All I know is there are still going to be some spots that I need to hit some more.
Does anyone know what works best to get that clay residue off of your car? I was just going to use my OCTOsham-thingy! Octosham-thingy! |
^^ I just washed mine after claying. :dunno:
You should get one of those mitts, though. And wear it, MJ-style. To work. You coming by for that PC tonight? |

I don't want to go out looking like a poodle, You might run me down when I see you! As for the PC maybe I should pick it up. I placed the Eshine order this morning but he said it's likely to arrive next week...but possibly this friday.

man o man, who ever owned her before you :rolleyes: |
Awesome before and after shots. Claybar FTW! :biggthumpup:
Now get a good sealant or carnuba on it to protect it and make it "pop" even more. :) |
Wow man, those are some impressive results!!
~monkey see..money do~:biggthumpup: |
Great job.
I am a clay bar believer also :biggthumpup: |

Excellent choice of products. https://g35driver.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif
PB's EX Sealant looks fantastic on light colored cars so you're gonna love it. Both Menzerna IP and MP polishes are awesome. I use them both very frequently. PowerGloss has a ton of cutting ability but it sure dusts like a mofo. Have fun with your new products when they arrive, your G is gonna look awesome. :) |
Daaammm Adam that's amazing...gonna have to get you to show me how its done!! I've got a white car that definitely needs to be clayed after looking at your before/after pictures.
Your cars looking awesome, whens the next meet?? |
Nice Job! It's nice to see another car in the hands of a person who will care for it.
|
Nice, now that you are done with the clay bar you should polish, seal, and wax it. I like the list you have there, the Poorboys Sealant smells reeeealllly good!
|
I Can't wait for my supplies to get here. Sounds like my brother is going to order the new porter cable XP so I will have full time access to detailing equipment.... This might just turn into an obsession! UH OHHHHH!

Of course it is an investment! :biggthumpup: One that will def be keeping a smile on your face down the road. I don't even want to think about how much detailing stuff I have purchased in the past month alone.
|
I can't stop touching my paint...lol Flames all you want. Everytime I stop at a light and touch just above the window rubber.. It's so smooth. Like silk. I'm addicted. I need help. I get out of my car when I get into the garage and I can't help but run my fingers across the panels......
|
after reading this thread i am a believer in claying. I finished mine today and the results were excellent
|
That's awesome OSA. The difference for me was so night and day that I ended up getting $380 worth of detailing equipment and polishes... Now my journey has turned to removing the scratches and hazing from the pearl. It's so addictive!
