Truck looks awesome man!!! Clay bar is sweet. Dont you just love the smooth feeling of the paint once you make a few passes with it? I was a amazed that it can make the paint so smooth.

Did you wax the truck again after claying?


I was under the impression that you should at least put one coat of wax on after you clay. The clay does not hurt the clear coat but it will take everything off the top of it.

I was told by a couple of my father's friends that have show cars that everyone should clay their vehicle at least once a year. It removes all the build up of wax and what not and starts over. Wax build up over time will actually dull the finish, but uses the clay will remove all the built up wax. I used it once a year with my mustang when it was together. Made the paint smooth as a baby's ***....

LoL, yeah it was waxed. Actually I had it waxed but the finish felt like my truck had goose bumps so I had it clayed and waxed again. Total cost for complete detail was $140 but the results are fantastic and I didn't have to kill myself doing it.

Thanks for all the props guys, I really like with how my truck looks but it's great I'm not the only one
