Perfection.

Clay barring could be necessary after 1 long drive if you are driving through crappy conditions. I really like your car, subtle and clean. Keep it up!

Very nice, and a good example of why black wheels disappear. At least you don't have to wash them as often.

IMO, never too soon to clay bar but only if you have the patience to do it

I usually do each car 2-3 times a year but I follow it up w/ a couple of layers of polish

mitch55 · 03-31-2011, 08:59 AM

Like glass

new2the3 · 03-31-2011, 10:47 AM

Very nice! I really like the color combo

Dmacc · 03-31-2011, 10:49 AM

Claybar is definitely a good idea, for me I park under a nasty tree that gets all sorts of tar on my car, so I needed to get all that off before it started to do any damage to my paint. But claybar and polish FTW!

infinitekidM2C · 03-31-2011, 11:21 AM

Your car is sick Dmacc; i need to claybar mine, never have and i got it in 08. I keep it under a garage like 90% of the time though.

Eminenceo3 · 03-31-2011, 11:23 AM

very nice! I love this weather!
I gotta do my car this weekend.

my car badly needs to be claybared but I still panic from the idea of damaging the paint. :-(

+1

It's very difficult to damage your car at all unless you don't use lube or start pushing hard. (lol)

It's just a smooth glide over the surface with VERY little pressure

Itanius · 03-31-2011, 05:06 PM

Your car looks fantastic, Dmacc!

Dmacc · 03-31-2011, 05:08 PM

Thanks everyone!
