First time waxing/claybar
I've never actually waxed or claybar-ed a car before so I figured I'd give it a shot. The paint was all smooth except for the bumper so I only claybar-ed the bumper with the mcguires clay bar and quick detailer and then waxed the car twice over with mcguires gold class wax. First I washed the car, then claybar-ed the bumper, then washed the bumper again, then waxed, waxed again and then dressed the tires with mcguires hot shine. I took a boat load of pictures. This was done by hand so it took me about 4 hours.

looks good! nice reflections! meguiars gold class is about the best bang for the buck OTC wax ive found. i really like the CR lip and wing. im curious though if the benefits from the wing would be negated by putting the top down. hmm...

wow nice shine! that crystal reflection is always worth the hours and sweat poured into a job like that. mine is coming due for another mega detail soon too, hopefully i can get a ncie shine like that! altho i have to admit black is by far the best color when detailed.
