Well, his car’s less than a year old, and doesn’t get driven much (daily’s a motorcycle for free express lane acces and 65mpg) so it really didn’t need the clay bar. My car, on the other hand, will/does need the full treatment, along with some light polish to remove some faint swirl marks. I’ve also found that using the microfiber scrubber in a vertical motion significantly reduces the visibility if any swirl marks that may be accidentally incurred...
