Well thats all. I think it looks awesome. Only bad thing is that claybaring the car takes FOREVER...lol not really, im just impatient. Oh well, it was worth it. Whatcha think?

maddmatt-girl=time to claybar car

Dude, looks great. I claybar mine once a year. Did you by chance clay the windows to? I do mine and it pulls a lot of crap off of them.

Great job!

you missed two steps. Its supposed to be wash, clay, wash, polish, then wax. You would yeild better results this way.

And you washed your car with a detergent soap, right? To remove any sort of previous wax on the vehicle...

Lookin real good.Matts right though a good polishing will give you even better results.

Even though it looks good through the pictures. I still see halograming.
:p

Some chrome FR500's would look sweet on your ride for sure.

On my car or his? I love the way minerals car looks.

On his,I like the way yours looks too.

Thanks, maybe ill do the polish thing when I feel like spending an EXTRA two hours on it...lol Yes, chrome fr500s would look great, but the bill for 4 18 inch tires and chrome fr500 wheels SUCKS. Therefore, black bullitts are already in the mail :D Does it hurt your car not to wash it after a clay bar? If so, oh well, my paints screwed already anyway.

Washing it removes any loose contaminants that the clay may have not picked up or knocked loose. You COULD scratch your paint by waxing those contaminants back in because you didnt rewash it.

Well the Black Bullits will look awesome.Should'nt hurt too much after your paint peels off after about a week :) JK

LOL, Ill just sue mothers for not telling me to wash the car after claying it. Id have washed it had they put it in the directions.

told you that paint looked slick.

Your really really supposed to wash after a clay bar man, you dont need to polish , but def wash and wax

Your sh** is on beam.

Ok now I only have 1 day off a week. Had to work 12 hour's a day all week. Finally got time to wash my stang at sundown. No time yet to wax and detail, But I took some night pics anyway. Until I read this post I was gonna leave her dirty. LOL Thanks for the motivation.:

I have the Gold Class wax also and it works really well better than the NX stuff.

:D Nice car. And thanks for the compliments, I guess having my stuff on beam is a good thing...

We use Gold Class at work. It provides great protection for the few days, but it wears away very quickly. NX, for me, provides longer lasting and better looking results.

I also like the NXT better than the Gold Glass.I used to use the GG but switched to the NXT about a year ago.I like to be able to apply wax to the whole car and then wipe it off.

very well done!!!

I wash my car every other day, no need for claying...hehe

A good sticky leather shammy every other day keeps my paint glowing like all hell.

Youd be surprised at the clay. Give it a shot sometime. Dont forget to wash afterwards though. Thanks mothers... :rolleyes:

Just did mine with clay and 4coats of zaino. Started wednesday finshed sunday. Zaino needs 24 hours between coats to let wax cure

I thought the same way till I tried the clay. Mine is in a garage has not been in the rain , gravel raods etc. I would wash everey week and I thought it was clean.

VERY nice roush you have there toolttime.

Thanks I have never owned anything I was totally 100% satisfied with as I am with this one.

Ok, Ill give the clay a shot, but you will never convince me to use anything but Liquid Glass for a wax....hehe

Thats fine.

You dont have to wait that long if you use the ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive.If it's warm out you can do a couple of layers a day.

English translation: Very nice finish.

I would'nt even use a leather shammy the Absorber works alot better and safer on your paint.And no reason at all to wash your car every other day.Just use a spray detailer and it will look just waxed every day.When I had my spoiler painted the body shop said my paint looked like it had just come off the assembly line.They could'nt believe it was an 03 :)

I don't wash my car anymore.

Don't think I would if I was you either. :eek:

How much is the stuff needed to clay bar and wax? I've never waxed or used a clay bar before, just washing.

Well, the clay bar kit was 16, then the gold class I use is like 10-15 bucks a bottle, or get NXT, its great stuff too, but I cant find my whole brand new bottle of it. Its like 15-20 bucks I think. I cant believe youve never washed that car, its sexy, but leaves sooo much room to get better now that you know.

I'm definetly gonna do the clay and wax...I just wished I had a garage to park it in. :(

You and me both. Mom owns the garage along with dads woodwork stuff. LOL

I take it you dont need to go to the gym :D
