Clay bar, polish, wax *NEW PICS*

Phasmatis · Post by **Phasmatis** » Mon May 17, 2010 9:51 pm

Been awhile but I am proud of what I did and had to come show some pictures. This weekend I decided to clay bar, polish, and wax the 04. Car is like a pure mirror and feels like running water to the touch. I highly suggest clay, polish, and wax to everyone

So, without further adieau (I am not french, sorry!)

Did you claybar the whole car, and if so how long did it take you to do it?

I would love to get clay,polish, and wax my neon, but i have no garage space to store my car during the summer, so to me it would just be a waist

I'd say a proper claybar takes around 4-5 hours, add another 2 hours to wax it afterwards. I usually do mine in parts over the course of a weekend.

It took me a good solid 5 hours with minimal breaks. I don't have a garage either but i just went to a friends and did it there. Still worth it. After all, they say that a clay bar, polish, and wax is not to make the car look good

Paint protection, its like a condom over your car (except you cant feel it) lol

Oh you can feel it! Throw a towel across your hood after claybar, it will fly right across it. I almost fell leaning up against my fender haha.

I would love to have the honors to detail anybodies car. To think a real car enthusiast would trust me to touch their car would be an honor.

I would bet that bird %^&$ would slide right off your car. Very nice!

You guys aren't talking 5 hours just to clay...right? If so, good lord.

The paint look superb! I'm planning multiple-day details for all of my vehicles this summer; can't wait to get them looking like that!

TheNumberOneD · Post by **TheNumberOneD** » Wed May 19, 2010 6:42 pm

didnt you post on srt forums as well?

if you did, you should show them the before pictures!

I love black when its like that, but it's so hard to maintain.

cross-hair cut out, ftw.

i like the head lights too... sexy

Phasmatis · Post by **Phasmatis** » Wed May 19, 2010 6:45 pm

It took me 5'ish hours to wash, clay bar, re-wash, polish, wax.

I am not on the SRT forums i need an invite or something i only have gmail so they block me.
