Place your hand in it and gently slide your fingers over the paint. Then do it on a place that has been barred...YOU Will Feel a Big difference. (in reply to Juztang) Post #: 21

RE: clay bar - 9/16/2006 10:44:48 PM    Juztang Posts: 2413 Joined: 10/4/2004 From: Westville, IL Status: offline I would claybar the car first to get all of the contaminants out of the paint. Next I would polish the car to clean the paint and bring the shine and reflection. Then top with a wax. You can get claybars online or at autozone,walmart,etc. My favorite wax is Natty's. ClearKote makes a great wax too. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to africkanV6) Post #: 27

I sell quite a few of the Porter Cables. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to africkanV6) Post #: 29

The only thing that would be good for is putting on a wax or sealant. You wouldn't get very good results with trying to remove swirls,scratches,oxidization,etc. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to africkanV6) Post #: 37

RE: clay bar - 9/17/2006 9:38:25 PM    crash94 Posts: 635 Joined: 1/7/2006 From: Texas Status: online After I purchased my 94 I somehow got behind or into some white paint on the highway. There were tiny spots ALL over the car. This was back in 95 or so, I thought I was screwed. I took it to a detailer in town and he said No problem and he showed me what he was going to do to get the paint off. Any guesses? A fuggin' clay bar. $200 bones later, my pony was completly spot free! Clay bars are the real deal and not some Billy Mays Oxy Clean BS that you see on TV. _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: redass02gt you put liquid dish soap in your ass to measure the amount. how much for a ticket to the freak show?

She had it all over the side of the car. It came right off. _____________________________ http://www.obsessivedetail.com Your source for high quality detailing products and accessories. 2004 Saleen S/C #170 (in reply to crash94) Post #: 39

After using the clay I applied two good coats of wax. The clay made is MUCH easier to apply and remove the wax. (in reply to Juztang) Post #: 40
