Car looks nice. +1 on the hood. My only question is, what the hell does clayed mean?
The "Clay Bar"

its a great little soap bar lookin thing that you use long with the spray and it gets ride of all the tiny little debree on your car's surfarce that can leave scratches... it also fills the small cracks and holes.

Mother's Car Detailing kits come with it.
That is the one I use. It works great, just be sure to use a crap load of the lube that comes with it. I used just about the whole bottle today.
Well since we are on the the topic, the "Clay Magic" kit is great. I got mine at Autozone, and it was half the price, and worked 2x as good IMO

Well you really only have to FULLy detail the car like that like 3 times a year. Unless you got shows every weekend.

Not so sure about this one, but some detailer said you can either use the stuff that comes with the clay bar or you can use a little bit of "soapy water". Anybody else heard this before, because the detailing spray that came with my clay bar is quite expensive to just buy it alone and I had a hard time using the clay bar, but with the soapy water it was much easier to feel the bar working so to speak. Of course after using the clay bar you have to put a good coat of wax because the bar does take pretty much everything off the paint lol.

soapy water works just as well,
i clay then use detail spray then wax and alternate coats of wax and detail spray till i get like 4 coats on, maybe a little over kill but it makes the black paint look really deep

Once you run out of the spray you can just use detailer spray wax. Its the same thing.
