UPDATE on claybar/sand paper issue AND PICS... new/recent mods and full detail
incase you missed my thread from last night.. i clayed and waxed my car like 4 days ago, and then yesterday, it felt like sand paper!?!?.. so i was pissed..
so i went and bought a buffer, new meguiars clay kit, meguiars 3 step process (cleaner wax, polish, wax) and wow.. the freakin car looks better than new.. the reflections are better than my bathroom mirror!
(and after i washed it the grime and little bumps that felt like sand paper came off for the most part.. but wtf.. so i re clayed it again!.. (started at 9:30 this morning, finished at 5:30)

nice and shiney. Is it my imagination or does your chin spoiler have more of a gap between it and the body than others who have that same one installed?

Looking good, man! I just clayed my car on Friday with Turtle Wax Ice Liquid Claybar. I washed it, clayed it, washed it, waxed it, spray waxed it. First time to wax this year. Of course, now it's covered in pollen. [>:]
