Default Just shined 'er up

Well, it's been so rainy lately here in Oregon that I haven't been able to wash or wax her for weeks. At least I have the beater Escort to take out on rainy days. But, today it was beautiful out and I had a chance to wash and apply my third coat of Safe Cut.

Here's a few pics, nearing the end of the day as the sun was getting low.

Yeah I have never heard of it either before. Is it a wax or a polish before you wax?

Basically you use the claybar before waxing. Meguiars makes a quick clay kit which comes with the clay bar and quick detail spray. Just wash the car and dry really good. Then spray quick detailer on car then rub clay bar in where the detailer is. After each area you do, wipe off with a microfiber cloth. Do this to the whole car, then wax. You car will look better than it ever has, and you wont believe how smooth it makes your finish. Smoother than a babys ***.

[sm=exactly.gif] I never polish one of our cars without clay baring it first. Look at the reflection of the front shot of the 5.0 in my sig.
