So the S had some pretty bad swirl marks. I got a majority of them out, and she looks great.

Bath time and removing old wax.


All taped off.


Clay bar time


Clayed the hood. Looking good.


All done. This was after a polish and a wax.




This took about 9 hours to do. Only reason it took that long is it had a ton of crap in the paint and took a long time claying it. Going forward I should be able to bang this out in a few hours.


Looks pretty good in the sun.

 

Looks good!

Hopefully I'll have my own house and garage in the next month or two, cause I need to do a full detail on my car bad!!

 

could always buy one of those pop up tent like things.

 

Looks great bet the clay made that back bumper smooth as glass after.

 

it sure did. It felt amazing. Actually even washing it now the paint feels butter smooth. I still have some swirl marks, but can't get rid of those without some serious buffing. I'm not too keen on trying a go at that myself.

If you get a random orbital you'll be fine. Can't really do much damage with one.

When I did my S for the first time last year, I had never used one. Car came out really nice. The next time I do it, things will go much faster! Only one way to learn!

 

what kinda clay bar do you use?

 

Just the normal meguiars clay bar kit you can get at any wal mart, auto zone, etc.
