    Not hard at all. Just spray the stuff on the paint, slide the claybar back and forth gently with little pressure on. after a pass, check with you hand, you will see how the paint is smooth. No chance to dammaged the paint, unless you grab some **** on the claybar. Just to look sometimes.

    Washed the car, hit the lower moldings with the buffer and some compound.
    Detailed the interior.
    Finally installed my STB.
    Changed the S/C oil.

    Basically got it ready for the roadtrip.

    Claybar is just labor intensive/time consuming and is impossible to mess up your paint.

    I don't use wax anymore. I use sealants since they last longer than a traditional wax. Ultimate wax and NXT from meguiar's are both synthetic sealants so they will last longer. Both work good but ultimate wax lasts longer and it will not stain your trim. Only the paste version of ultimate wax stains trim.

    Nope nothing was broken while putting the brakes on thank god lol. The hammer was used to get the freaking wheels off.. They've gotten so corroded they've like fused to the old rusty rotors for some reason.. Yeah, it's weird. I'm not looking forward to the radiator replacement tomorrow though.

    That's the same stuff I use at work and my own car's. It has really good results and cheaper than the bigger detailers product.
    BTW works great on glass to help clear water like rain x.

    Guess we know how you managed to (1) break my breaker bar in two and (2) shear the adapter into two pieces down the middle. Still not sure how (2) happened since that crap's forged steel.

    No tools were broken today lol. I had a real breaker bar this time so no issues. 1980's Craftsman tools ftw. Cheap Harbor Freight stuff is just waiting to be broken by me lol.

    Nothing like changing a tire on the side of the highway at 5:50 am in the rain. Luckily I made it under an overpass. Front right went flat so I was going to swap right rear to front and put donut on rear. Lug adapter cracked when I was breaking rear lugs loose. Had to put donut on front and tighten as good as possible and limp the remaining 3 miles to work.
