its surprising to see a shiny car. up here my friend and i have the only two waxed cars in the whole lot. |
My car is covered in crap right now because its been snowing for more or less 3 days non-stop, its nice to see a clean car. On a tangent, you should install some fog lights |
That EP3 is :evil: |
Wadup

lol i thought your subject was talking about eating a candy bar. lol wtf? i don't know |
Thank you for understanding how to use detailing clay and using it. As a professional detailer I love the way a freshly clayed and waxed car feels and looks. I wish everyone took the time to properly detail their cars like you. BTW, I'll take the DC5, please. |
both look hot |

This post persuaded me to purchase a clay bar. I sprayed yesterday, then as per instructions, proceeded to rub around the area. I think I may have sprayed too much on because I never got to the point where it went away. (spray). It didn’t feel like it was doing anything but gliding along the liquid, not touching the metal. I did notice some difference but I think I may have been doing it wrong or not long enough. Did I spray too much? One thing to note, I did rub too far and got to an area where it seemed very sticky and at that point it felt like it was pulling from the paint, but I don’t know if this was more harm then good. Any thoughts? |
nice! subscribed for later |

Any thoughts? if you washed your car first then began with the clay bar here is what I did. First get a few microfiber towels to use. Second spray on enough liquid detailer to keep the claybar gliding easliy with no sticking ( thats how it works) Third after you have done an area wipe it dry with the microfiber rag you will see the difference right away and feel it fourth after an area is done apply your choice of wax , I use meg's NXT but you can use any type you like |

so you should clay the entire car, then wax the entire thing? - or - clay a section (says 3x3 on the link provided in this thread) then wax that section? also, how much pressure do you use on the clay bar? |
