Thumbs up Mothers Clay bar

I waxed my car yesterday with Mothers clay bar. I left a spot without using the clay bar and only waxed it with Mothers carnauba to see if there was a difference. There was not visible difference, I looked at it from all angles in the shade and under the sun and I saw no difference I was kind of disappointed but then I did notice the difference when I ran my fingers across each panel. Where I used the clay bar it was smooth as a babies butt and where I didn't you could hear and fell a difference. It was real time consuming but I'm happy with the results.

Thats what clay does...It cleans the paint and prepares it for glaze and wax. You will not notice it by look, only by feel.

In the part where I didn't apply the clay bar, Can I apply it over the wax? Probably yes, but then I have to wax it again right?

MangoEX should not be trusted
Well it could improve shine by the way it would clean the **** off the paint BEFORE you apply wax over it
