Today for the first time ever I clay barred my car. I admit to being sceptical about all the claims for using a clay bar. I thought my car is only 10 months old with 6,000 K. How bad could the paint be.

I got an initial scare when I felt how rough the clay bar felt at the start, I thought Jaysus I am screwing up my paint, but then it started to glide. When I was finished the clay bar I thought WOW! I am now a believer, the difference was amazing.

One coat of Autoglym super resin polish, and one coat of Meguirs Gold class wax later, and I would say the paint on my car looks and feels 200% better than when it left the factory.:).

No Pics, because I had no sooner finished then the rain started, so, it is in the garage, But rain tomorrow:complain So it has to get dirty again.

Of course I used lube, I said I was sceptical, I didn't say I was dumb. I used the quick detailer that came in the kit.

I'm guessing the Meguairs kit since he said quick detailer.

Great stuff. I have to do mine about twice a year and I notice a big difference. Even right off the lot there was a lot of contamination in the paint and looked terrible up close. White shows everything...
