All I can say is WOW I thought my car was glassy feeling to begin with. OMGosh. I just finished the coat of wax. It is about 100 degrees outside ugh, after I cool down and shower I will take her to get some shots! She sure is sweet! Well worth the extra work!
I used Meguires Kit, very nice! So how often is it safe to use?

We have all been telling you this for the last two years, I am so glad to see you finally listened. Now you see the difference!
You can clay as often as the car needs it. If you are in a real dirty area, you may need to clay once a month to once every 3 months. Other wise, usually once or twice a year depending on how anal you are.
LOL, I was amazed how much it removed from the lower half. That area gets less attention. I had this red mark I have no idea where it can from, the claybar removed most of it. I figure over time the rest will come off. I'm kinda on the picky side so she will get a few more claybars in this year! LOL

Clay bar is great but I thought I was told you should not use this more than twice a year. It is actually an abrasive so it will wear on the clear coat. Can someone else chime in on this. If I can use more I would like to, especially before shows.

Yes, there is a degree of abrassiveness to a clay bar, but again there is the same amount of abrassiveness in polish too. In reall dirty area (smog, sand, acid rain, etc), you may want to clay bar 3-4 times per year. But most people in most areas will do just fine with clay bar once or twice per year.
Ugh...this just reminded me I need to do mine again!

i need to invest in a claybar kit myself. I have quite a few bugs adhered to the front end of my car due to this vacation i am on and need to clean up my baby again.
Congrats Ronda how long did it take you to complete it?
My car was not too dirty so all together it took about 2 hours. I was hustling to get her done. The washing was done very quickly, I have a squeegee so drying time is next to nothing.
