Your car sure LOOKS pretty clean!
I haven't tried a bar yet, but we do get stuff from SmartWax, so I'll do my tC soon and post up. Anyone else got pics of what the clay bar looks like after using it? That was helpful.

i wish i would have read this thread before i clayed my wife's car last night. that bar was FILTHY and this was after a good cleaning with dawn detergent(to get rid of the old wax from the winter). don't worry, i re-applied a coat of meguiar's cleaner wax immediately afterwards!

I did mine for the first time about two months ago and I also used the Meguires kit and it did feel smoother after the baring and the bar was getting dirty so stuff was coming off the car. I am happy with it.

I used a clay bar for the first time on Sunday. I always thought my car felt smooth and clean, but I decided to try it out anyway. What a difference. I thought I knew what "smooth as glass" felt like, but now I know for sure what that is after the clay bar. I sprayed the car with Quick Detailer, and rubbed the clay against the car, and I could see little beads of "dirty sweat" coming off the car. Immediately I knew this was going to make a huge difference in my cars appearence. It took about an hour to do and totally worth it!! The whole wash, clay bar, swirl x, scratch x, and wax took me about 4 1/2 hours to complete...again, totally worth it!!! People keep asking me if I got it painted...lol!!!

Let me add that washing the car after all that work is much easier now. Took me half the time tonight. The drying towel just glided over the car so well like it was floating on air. Anyone who hasn't used a clay bar on their car should...the whole process was a lot of work, but it is so worth it now!!!
