You can't feel the difference by feeling the paint with your bare hand 
When I washed, clay bar, buffed, polished and waxed my car is took me like 6 hours JUST to wash, clay bar and buff my car (I used a PorterCable buffer). I called it quits after buffing, saved the rest for another day.

Boduke, I'm also interested in what springs your running. If i remember correctly youre running something like cut stock springs. Looks good. Make sound clip with KOOKS headers por favor!

My Spring setup is H&R supersports with the lower iso's in the back and J&M CC plates. i have some kinda nexen tires up front 275/40 and 275/45 nitto 555R's out back, they hook on the street but not at the track..go figure. and the head lights are the smoked ones from AM.
its funny how good my front bumper looks in the pics because up close its hideious, looks like someone peppered it with a shot gun lol

If you cant feel the difference, youre crazy...or have just gotten a paint job recently. Claying a car with remove roughness on the paint. You really can tell a difference. Especially while claying it because you can feel the clay catch and if you use the back of your fingers, you can tell its a lot smoother after the fact of claying.
Now, if you want to feel a difference with the clay bar put your hand in a sandwich bag and run your hand across your car. If you did a good job clay barring your hand will glide across the paint, if you didn't or it needs to be clay barred your hand won't slide across the paint and you will feel all the nasty contaminants in the paint.

You can't feel the difference. If you run your hand across your car after you wash it it will feel very smooth. Do that after you clay bar and it feels the same. If you have a lot of contaminants in your paint, yes you will hear the clay bar removing the contaminants in the paint. My car hasn't been painted since it left the factory line, had ton of contaminants in it and it felt the same after I used the clay bar.
