Default Claybarring....a 1996 Buick.....holy crap

First of all, I spent no more than 40 minutes claybarring this car. It is about to be sold. I "cleaned" it at the local car wash.....by that I mean that I sprayed it, but the dirt was so baked onto the paint that it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Maybe got the dust off the dirt, but not the dirt off the paint. This was a QUICK job, not going for perfection, just better than it was. Anyone see a difference?






The paint BEFORE the clay bar.....with a macro lens.....see the dirt?


Now see the same dirt disappear!

Got the rest done...whats really crazy is that the pictures show both sides completely dry. Even though it looks wet. Smooth to the touch, unlike before. Its like a freaking infomercial!

No, I'm actually selling a Buick myself. I'm wondering how much your expecting to get for that. And I hope you say around 3k but that will totally justify my asking price of 5500 for mine.
