told you the clay bars rule !

pain in the arse to wash her twice but well worth the effort eh ?

Looks like you did a nice job it it. Well worth the effort as you have a nice looking ride there.

Thanks. Could never tell it was 276K. First clay bar the truck ever saw

Look at the plate.

What's a clay bar? can't read the plate, white blank. :confused:

Thats the point... A clay bar used with a spray removes all the contaminants from the surface. It probably would be good if you used one ralph.

Nice job! I am a believer that clay bar is the begining for a long lasting wax job. Looks good (276k?).

276000 miles. Still runs. Got a lifter problem i believe. Something makes it crap out at low idle.

What contaminants?! It rarely sees sun, and has been in a garage or parkade all its life. Always has 2 or 3 coats of wax on it. :p
As long as it doesn't remove too much clear coat, or oxidation, but I don't think I need it.

"What contaminants?! "

the car ever seen rain or roads or parked in the sun at work ? good chance it has them , youll be surpised how smooth the finish is when your done

case in point , moms 04 malibu maxx . first day we got it home i couldnt get over how smooth the paint felt to my hands , after one week it didnt feel like that anymore , even after i washed it . the car sits in the garage all day and onyl leaves the garage to run errands , maybe gets a total of 20 miles a week. but one freak rain storm ws enough to contaimate the paint . i always though it took years but it only takes weeks for the finish to start to deteriorate

Well paint isn't what it used to be. Trust me, my finish feels like glass now. Its great. Actually there was a car show there tonight where i took those pics.
