Clay bar does a nice job of removing surface contaminants... the cleaner wax is the bomb though!!!

Can't wait to see some pics!!! Let's go, get them up here!!!

Check out the pinned thread - all about clay bar at the top of this area. It's VERY important to follow the instructions that came with the product. Clay Bar Thread

Whatever instructions that came with your kit... follow them closely. Only clay your car when needed - wash your car - run your hand over the finish, if it feels rough - you need it... if your paint feels smooth, you don't need it...

Also... max - like someone said - is 2x's a year, but if you maintain your car... you should only need it once a year...

Car looks great. That stuff is so cool in how it works. Just sucks the nasty stuff up like a vacuum
