Clay does make a nice big difference on the way thepaint feels huh..Also i bet you were surprised at seeing the clay at how much it pulls off you didnt even know was there.
As for Souveran compared to Klass..Klass will destroy souveran as far as durability. Souveran will only last you about 3-4weeks if your driving it everyday and its a daily driver..Klass will last months and months. I wouldnt recommend using Souveran for someone who doesnt plan on waxing the car atleast once a month with it. Granted it does give darker color cars a look like no other. If you dont mind waxing once a month min and want the best look then go for Souveran..but with that Grabber blue..it is close to color of my old truck and I used Fuzion..it really looks awesome and its a hybrid sealant/wax and its durability you will get a good 2-3months out of it. you can get the mini jar that would give you a good 15 or more applications

P.S. Grabber what HID kit are you running..I am looking and was thinking about that DDM tuning

I used Meguiar's clay kit for the first time before it started to get cold and was surprised how much junk it took off, even after being washed. Definitely happy with the results

Car looks great grabber

I recommend Pinnacle Souverän vover Klasse ALL-In-One.

It started raining just as I got it dried after the wash and clay

Yes now that I used it, I cant see myself stopping. It works great and after just doing the passenger side fender the thing had black debris all over it even after I scrubbed with my microfiber mit. For now I am using a glaze my uncle gave me, than going over it with mothers caranuba wax my gfs father uses on his hot rods.

Also the hid kits is the stangmods 6000k dual beam kit. It was kind of pricey but it is a great kit and is made strictly for mustangs and has a lifetime warranty. I had a problem with the kit (a burnt out bulb) about 2 months after installing it, but I just e-mailed them and they sent a new one. I highly recommend them.

you dont need to clay to often..id say maybe once every 6months..It removes any wax you have on the paint as well. So you basically strip it down to no protection when you clay.
yea i saw that kit..just I dont know if I want to spend $329 for heads and fogs when that DDM kit is like 90bucks for both kits. LOL

I clay bar mine also and it is surprising what the clay will bring up even if u wax the car. Plus it takes out the swirl marks. Great product

You know my uncle said the same thing to me about the swirls but I just blew it off like yeah yeah thats impossible its just clay, but when I was done I was like wtf where are they. I mean i am sure not 100% of mine are gone but it took out a decent amount of them. I planned on compounding it also today to get all the blemish's (swirls and minor scratches) out but it started to rain so I might just wait until the temperatures warm to about 50 lol

I am gonna try to do it maybe one a month since its my daily driver and theres alot of **** on the roads where I am. Theres always construction somewhere. And I said the same thing with the hid kit, but I honestly said to myself fvk it I might as well do it right the first time and spend the extra $. I am not bashing the other kit, just stating I am happy with mine even it it was the cost of a rim lol. If you want 6000k fogs, I will be selling mine in the spring when I go with a roush front fascia.

Once a month is overkill. Since it strips all the protection from your paint you always want to follow clay with wax or sealant.
