So, what if there's dust in the air? You might as well be pointing a sand-blaster at your car!



Take careful note of the smileys.

Sandblasting at its best:

There are a lot of really nice products out there. I guess it depends on your time, budget, & preferences. Do you have time to wash, clay, polish, seal, & wax? Do you care if you have swirls in the paint?

Enjoy your new truck!

He lost me when he started washing the wheels first. He actually throws the wheel brush in the clean soap bucket while washing the wheels. Then he's going to use that soap water to wash his paint?

Thanks for all the replies and information and please keep them coming. I for sure need to watch some of those videos on proper technique. (especially into barring and waxing) This whole idea of clay barring a car is something I have never seen done. To be honest it kind of makes me nervous thinking about clay running over the paint but I see where it makes sense. I'll probably just try on small area first.

It does sound a little strange, but it works really, really well.

To convince yourself, the first time you do it try this...

Before claying put a plastic sandwich bag over your hand and lightly rub your vehicle's paint. After claying and the car is dry again do the same thing. You can feel the difference with your bare hand but the plastic magnifies it. The difference surprised me.

It's amazing how much stuff gets stuck in the surface of your paint and the clay gets most of it out.
