@ OP: Great info! Never heard of claying a car before, but that photo up there with the claybar in your hand speaks 1000 words!

Thanks for the post with the cool pix.

My pleasure! Yeah, I was rather stunned when I 'clayed' the roof and came up with that mess on the bar! I can't believe it's already been like 6 months since I did that exterior detail job! Dang! Where does the time go? I have been using the quick detailer about every other wash and the water still beads off better than a ducks back. However, I need to make some time to give him a "freshening up" now that the we're heading towards spring. Gotta keep my ride lookin' tight! Oh yeah, picked up a Vios badge from Micro Image On Line, so he's getting a new name soon too.

I hear that! I bought my car a month ago now, so it's time to think about doing her first wax and everything. I bought the car used, so I don't know what they used before but they are some little spots in the cracks where wax accumulated and wasn't removed. I guess I just need to set a day and get to it.
