i hated clay baring my car. it took forever. i dont want to spend all day cleaning it, clay baring it, then waxing it. im LAZY.
 
Yeah its a huge pain in the ass but end results are well worth it plus i only do it every spring and a quick re wax b4 winter =]

Could be the stuff that you have to spray down before you run the clay bar over the paint.


Claybarring takes forever but it is worth it. I should do mine again in the next couple weeks but I need to get the motivation to do it.

good point, could be lol When i do mine, i wash the car, and then fill the bucket up again and wet an area of the car with a sponge and claybar. then rinse off the car when done. Save's time, don't waste a whole bottle of detailer, and still get the same results :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


yes the detailer was for the clay bar and your supposed to use the detailer because its alot more lubricating then soap but i guess you could use soap

here are some pics after meguairs rubbing compound, cleaner wax, tech paste.....pics arent like the sunset pics i got in the OP so reflections arent as drastic.....

why did you use rubbing compound? your paint looked flawless....rubbing compound is for heavy swirl mark and more major paint correction. And using cleaner wax and rubbing compound together is kinda pointless. not being rude, im just trying to save you effort and time in the future ;)

Looks good and prolly feels super slick, but next time do claybar, polish (meguiars m205 or a real polish), and then wax. you don't need to be using rubbing compound, and actual polishes work better than cleaner waxes.

were you doing the polishing by hand?
 
I need me some polish.... bad...

Looks good, but the pics really are too small and the angle can make any paint look mint.

My hood looks amazing after a wash, claybar and wax combo .... but if you get the right angle with respect to the sun, then you can see all the swirl marks.

Oh love the no headlight look BTW.

yes by hand and i used the rubbing compound because i had some bad swirls....i had a **** polishing compound and an orbital buffer i used on the hood and the by hand rubbing compound seemed to make a better result i dont know why.
