Rep Power: 0 the importance of claying!
i've always been skeptical about claying thinking it wasn't a big deal and it might scratch my car. boy was i wrong! you see, i wash my car every week and didn't think that i didn't need to do it since it looked clean (i have a silver car). so i tried it today, after i washed my car/dried it, and i couldn't believe all the dirt/contaminants that came up in the clay, it literally was brown and filthy. so if anyone hasn't done it, YOU MUST! just because your car looks clean doesn't mean it is thoroughly. there all kinds of black dots, dirt, that penetrate into the paint that are very hard to see that washing can't get. eventually if you don't, it will dig into your paint and ruin it (kinda like that sandpaper look and feel). now she looks good, after i did that... and i put on some wax to boot. i used the meguiars quik detailer/clay bar which cost about $10, it's definitely worth it!

Rep Power: 0 What does the clay do? I have never used it before....How do you used it, what are the results, should you do it and ten wax?!?!?
Tell me what you can about it. I'm going to do a car show this weekend and held of waxing intil I found out if I should clay it before.

i clay before waxing and polishing... but remember to be gentle though and to apply enough lube (LOL). go right to left or up and down, never in circles. but you fellas know all that.

Rep Power: 0 yeah, most places just sell the just the quik detailer alone. i would try autozone, and any other automotive store. it shouldn't cost more than $10, and comes in a little box with both quik detailer and clay bar. if you can't find the meguiars (labeled:quik clay detailing system) , there are other brands as well. i'm sure they all work the same purpose. you can also order it straight from meguiars, and i would highly recommend the NEW nxt products (not in stores till mid february, but can be purchased through them directly now). i just purchased some, and OMG it's the best ever! and you thought the gold class products were good. i think there's free shipping if you order any nxt products, check with them. while your there, get a free car care prescription. ---> http://www.meguiars.com
