came out beautiful man, I love that clay bar, i got it at wal-mart for $14 I think, and I used the mothers cleaner wax along with it after, and then meguairs gloss shine wax. the car came out like glass. Whats your opinion on the mothers polish? does it give even more shine then a shine wax?
Edit: I had to come back and post more I cant get enough of your car. I am looking through your smugmug gallery now. I no now have a pic of your car as my wallpaper. Its so worth the amount of detail you put into cleaning this car. I love that firebird racing stripe decal you have on the hood. I have never seen that before. Now I want to go out and but that mother polish and re clay bar my car.
Thanks for all the compliments, and looking at my other photos. Pretty cool you're using it as a wallpaper too As for whether or not I like the other stuff more or not, can't really answer. The only thing I've ever used the car as far as wax, polish or clay bar is Mothers.

The muffler is close, but still needs some work. The piping is going to take awhile though. I also plan on doing a lot more chrome and polished pieces in the engine bay.

It was a couple of days broken up. Not exactly sure how long, but 7 hours plus would probably be right. I did a lot more then just the exterior though.
