I used a clay bar for the first time today on my 50,000 mile '04 coupe.
All I can say is the only other thing that I have touched that felt this good was of the female persuasion. And cost $1,000 a night.

 

My Crossfire had a bad case of tree sap when I bought the car so I did the same thing and clay barred it...what a difference...now she is as smooth as a...(well you know)...really made a difference.

 

Congrats on the first clay barring in 50K worth of driving, damn, that bar must have been kneaded ALOT during the process. BTW, which clay bar did you use and what did you apply to the car afterwards? Also a word of advice...DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER 50K TO CLAY BAR THE CAR! or we'll have to repo the car, LOL!

 

Haha, I fully detailed my car last year...I clay barred the car just recently, and all I used was a 1.5"x1.5" speck of clay...thank-you Klasse All In One!

 

Golf, I know you added a layer of SG after the AIO, right.

 

Aero Blue,
Incredibly, I topped off the AIO w/P21S. The car has been through improper washing for months since late August, and I have always wanted to try SG, but I am a bit worried...I hear that SG is very finicky and if you don't apply it to it's exact level of thickness, it's a pain to remove. Do you have some? If so, pm me and tell me more about it b/c you might be able to persuade me to actually get the stuff. The main reason why I haven't gotten the stuff is because of this difficulty in removal, but I would like to have more longevity than the P21S...feel free to recommend anything suitable as a topper of AIO. I will say, after the whole day detailing, it just seems nice to know that your last step product is very easy to apply and remove.

Sorry for the little thread stealing, but all I can say is...put a good sealant and/or even just some wax so that you prevent severe paint contamination in the future!
