Hey man where do you get your clay?
All I've found is the mild mirror glaze line(BLUE) and the clay in the package with the spray.

Pep Boy's carries the Meguiars Smooth Clay kit...what you see there in the original posters picture. Works great. Never come across it in Autozone or Kragen though.

WOW! looks great, but I noticed something that no one else mentioned. Looks like you used to have taillight covers, because I can see the melted indents, they look the same as the ones ones on my car
