That's all I have to say. I've been claybarring my car for the past 2 days off and on. It's unbelieveable how much my pearl paint is changing before my eyes!. I found it incredibly difficult to photograph the rail and other particles in my paint even with the DLSR.. but I'm taking before and after pics of things that I don't think it will get out. So far it has got everyting out I have tried!! I'll post my pics in this post when I"m done. Stay tunes friends!

********UPDATE************

Ok, Please understand that it's not the easiest thing to photo these particles and I still have work to do around the emblems and badging but the difference is night and day.

Final Product






That should about do it. With the Eshine order now in it's time to remove those scratches!! If anyone wants to give clay barring a try, don't be afraid!! It's alot of work but boy the result (espically for IP g's)

 

make sure you wax your car after the claybar, it will feel so much smoother and smell delicious

 

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.
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.

 

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...

 

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....

 

Still no pics???

ban...

 

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.

Honestly, what is really amazing me is the scratches and scuffs that it's taking out.

I have a great picture of all the little scratches I had underneith my passenger door opener handle. It was like a mini skating rink. now? Well you'll see!

Strange discolorations.... poof....

 

Are you polishing now? It sounds like you are saying the clay is removing scratches and scuffs. In my experience, claying exposes more swirls, scuffs and scratches, usually masked by waxes.

 

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...
