clay barred and waxed the SS today!

[bluefields88]

I hadn't washed my car in over a month, and it was filthy. I really wish I took before pictures for a comparison. It hadn't been clay barred since late 2005 before I bought the car. I used Dawn dish soap to wash it, then used Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit. I'm really pleased with the results. It took me around 4 hours.

MAN NEVER USE LIQUID DISH SOAP!!!! Don't be a cheap-ass go buy some turtle wax or actual auto soap. Something other than dawn. Dish soap dries out the clear over time. Looks great though.

[bluefields88]

oh, I always use real car soap. I just used the dish soap to remove all the grime and the old wax. haha

I just tried Adam's Buttery Wax today, one of the best waxes I have ever used. I can show some pics once I get some taken, but very glossy and smooth.

I don't know how! I think the outside of the lens is etched. I want to take them out of the car and take them to the buffer wheel with some polish. But I don't know how to take them out properly.

bluefields88 what kind of truck is under that Cal carcover?

[bluefields88]

1957 Chevy long bed. My dad got it when he was 17 and restored it about 10 years ago. It's going to be mine some day.
