like a baby's butt.....

i was up early today and figured id beat the heat and make the most of having shade in my driveway... so i washed the car with dish washing detergent, dried it and got to CLAYING the entire car... washing again and finally waxing.

ive posted my results of the claybar before- and many members complimented me- but i cannot say enough how great the car looks after a good claying.

other than driving imperfections- id be willing to bet that my paint looks better than it did upon delivery

Claying is a great part of detailing that does make a car seem better than when delivered.

Very nice man!! I remember first car I clay bared was my 97 Accord, made a HUGE difference. Then I did my Mom's M5, she said she noticed a difference...but I don't think it did. What part of Philly are you from? We should get all philly guys out for a meet! I'm a newb still..

i live in the NE.

and for those who may be apprehensive about doing a clay- theres nothing to it, really. a nice, clean bar will do at least 3 cars.

the worst part about it is the time it takes. wash- dry- clay- wash- dry- wax on- wax off.

but seriously- just about ANY road grime, tar or those little metallic bits that look like specks of rust all come out.

looks good. Recommend claying the car twice a year. I use Zaino's products which i think surpass all others, but just my opinion, im sure others like their own products just as much
