Default Claybar/waxed my car yesterday.....

And wow....what a difference this makes. It looks so good and is smoother than a baby's a**. I have a little bit of acid rain in my paint that you can only see at a certain angle under the right amount of light, but I know its there and it bothers me. So I claybar it about every 4 months and a little comes out each time. If you have never done this to your ride, i would highly recommend it. Dont forget to give it a good coat of wax afterwards.

It amazes me how many people have never heard of this process. It has to be one of the best kept secrets.

Trust me I tell everyone who comments on her. Most do say what is that, then say wow, I need to try that.

Yea, I need to clay mine when I get back. It's been sitting in storage for far too long. I hope it keeps it looking as good as the first time I saw it.

Yeah most people ask me how i keep my car so shiny and smooth, and ill mention claybar along with some of my other detail secrets and they have never heard of it. GS2007GT500 it will have your car looking right, just give it a nice wax job after doing and your paint will be protected for a while. I detailed cars for a Ford dealership when i was in high school so i know how to keep my car clean. My daily driver tacoma is cleaner than most peoples cars. lol

Wait a minute, YOU clayed your HUSBANDS car? Do you have a sister?

Actually, I'll be claying my car this weekend. Last time I did it took me about 6 hours to wash, clay and wax. I felt like the Karate Kid afterwords.

I am looking to do a claybar at the begining of next summer to start off fresh with all of that junk from the winter removed from her. I just don't have the time to sit down and claybar the whole car right now. I mean, you have to wash, dry, then claybar, then wax. Takes a heck of a lot of time........
