I've never used a clay bar before, but today I broke down and gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. Afterwards I waxed her up good for a spanking, I mean photo-op.

Looking good!
Thanks for making me feel bad about neglecting my Crossfires.

 

Nice job...

 

That's the way you it on MTV...

 

It's a lot of work, even on a small car, but worth the effort. Your car's looking great.

Looking good!

 

Looks incredible. Nice job!

 

Looks awesome! I heard about the Claybar for a while but never gave it a shot until my neighbor once showed me how to use it and BOY what a difference it made! My car looks great and feels so smooth! Definitely worth it. I do it once per year, followed by a wax job like you did. Car comes out like brand new.

 

Looks great!! I too am using a clay bar for the first time. I am using it on my Ranger to get a little clay bar experience before commiting to the CF. It works great. What a difference.

 

Nice work! Clay bar is such a pain to do, but it sure looks great when it is done!

 

Clay bars are the BEST---I am the owner of the Graphite SRT that you passed on Hwy 41 heading south to Rivergate about 6 weeks ago.

 

I recall passing a very clean XF and off course giving it (you) a thumbs up, and then turning right at the light in Ridgetop. This was on my way to the dragstrip in Goodletsville (Music City Raceway). You should have followed me there.

Have you done any performance mods or do you ever race at the track for fun?

 

x2.

gonna be depressed now

 

Yes. That was me---girlfriend lives in Greenbrier. No. I have not done mods YET!!! I bought it last April with 917 miles on it---Has 13,400 now. Want to do the top 3 (CAI, Code 3, and tune) plus a couple of other smaller things. Wished that I jumped on 13dog's CAI---color was perfect.

 

Cars 'N' Coffee this weekend, Cool Springs Carrabba's parking lot. 8-11am... be there!

 

Clay Bar makes it so smooth! Good buy bugs, little grits and hello smooth!

What time do you usually arrive? Are you able to park all the XF's together, or is it scattered?

 

Last time, Nick slept in like a Liberal and Steve's car was on jacks (still is)... so we didn't even get down there until 9:45. By then, parking was screwed and we had to scatter. If you get down there at ~8:30, you can normally squeeze in a lineup but the spots fill fast. The only way to really park together is arrive together

 

Sat or Sun? Assuming Sat!!!
