I need to do some work this year, too bad clay and wax doesn't take out dings and nasty scratches... I wish my ride looked as good as some of yours...

One unexpected thing happened when I was claying the hood: It took off all my touch up paint! You can actually see all the pits in the last pic of the hood. Good thing I have like a gallon of it left.
