Default Clay bar, polish, wax

I spent several hours this morning and today going over my Mustang with a clay bar using the Meguiar's clay bar kit, polish and NXT wax. Did it all by hand using microfiber towels. I can't get over how smooth my Mustang is. I thought I had a clean car until I saw the junk the clay bar picked up. The photos don't do this justice, it's hard to describe just how blinding this car is in the sun!

Looks great. I used the NXT for a year or so until I switched to Zaino for good. The NXT goes on and come off great, it just never lasted long enough for my taste. It always seemed to me that 2-3 washes and the NXT was gone.

If your clay bar doesnt get dirty...that's good news. Means you have little to no contaminants. keep it up...If you want to see contaminants...leave you stang outside for a month, then clay it...

Looks great! I'll be washing/claying/washing/polishing/washing/waxing my stang next week. I don't have a garage to park my stang in, so it needs to be clayed REALLY bad.

Zaino is absolutely an over priced Meguiar’s Gold Class wax. If I had the choice between NXT or Zaino I would use the NXT and buy a 12 pack with the extra money I saved for when im done with the wax job.
