Default Clay Bar

Just thought I would post but today is the first time I have used a clay bar, I used Clay Magic.. it was awesome it made my cleaning so much easier.. Took a bit longer cuz I took my time and went over the ENTIRE car extremely thoroughly. It is an amazing tool most every dayers dont use.

Great tool!! Makes the polish/wax go on easy and off even easier. Lot of elbow grease but worth it.

I wasn't a believer until last week when my buddy and I did my car and his 02 SOM SS.

Both cars turned out absolutely amazing after the claybar and wax. The paint feels better than the brand new F-bodies on the lots back in 2002. The finish is about as soft and smooth as my ear lobe.

I did mine and I could really tell the difference. I love a clean car, now if I could only keep it clean out here in NM.

Another happy claybar'r. I did my T/A a couple months ago and since then my fiance has been bugging me to clay her IS300. I told her I'll do one half while she does the other half to save time. She wasn't to keen on that idea.
