1st wax of the season and 1st Clay EVER!
It was BEAUTIFUL this past Friday so I took the oppurtunity to clean my stang. She looked gorgeous!!! But unfortunately that is not the case now cause it is rainy and dreary out at least I got a few good shots out of it though

Does clay bar help reduce swirl marks?
I bought myself a clay bar kit a few days ago, gonna use it right before some heavy waxing/buffing.

Once I get my ground effects re-painted and fixed up, I'm gonna do some detailing.
1. clay bar
2. Meguiars #83 with foam bonnet
3. Meguiars #80 with same kind of foam bonnet just a fresh one
4. Meguiars NXT wax with MF bonnet
Only problem I'm having is finding a cutting bonnet for the #83, I have the Craftsman 10" Orbital buffer, works well, just uses bonnets and not pads.

Then I would have to use #83 and then #80 again, isnt that a lot of wax buildup in a short amount of time?
Would two coats or #80 be fine to do if needed? Followed by wax?
And would a regular foam bonnet be fine to use with #80? or #83?

That would look AWESOME... I'll have to find me one of those and post it up. Maybe I could try and photoshop it when I get the program :clap: But thanks for the compliment.
That goes for everyone else's compliments as well
