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...

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 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.

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.

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