Thanks man!
Before claybar:
After claybar:
I think it would probably make a bigger difference appearence wise on a darker or white car, but with our color it doesn't seem to do much honestly.. Feels extremely smooth though.

Here's the deal about clay bars...they only make a difference if they need to make a difference. If there's not much "stuff" stuck to your paint, it's not going to pull anything off.
I just clay'd my car and it didn't remove much either...I pulled some stuff form the lower half of my doors but everything else was clean. I used McGuiers NXT quick detailer and NXT wax after the claybar, and it looks great.
As far as "how hard" it is to do...I thought it was easy. The clay bar glided across the paint very easily, except for hitting a dry spot that the quick detailer didn't get.
For $20 or less, it's worth it. Your car looks great, but I suspect that the paint color combined with the setting sun in the pictures didn't quite do you justice to how deep the paint looks.

I have gotten most of my 97's surface cleaned with a clay bar session. After having it for 8 years without it being done it needed it. I still have to dismount the spoiler to get at the underside of it and the decklid hidden beneath

looks good man. claybar is the sh*t. i use the meguires clay bar then the tr3 deoxidizer when needed and then the meguires tech 2.0 wax i believe and the paint is very deep and rich. nice ride bro
