Any clay bar kits otc would work. Unless you need an more aggressive clay then you'll need to order one cause the otc clays are not that aggressive. My paint feels like a baby's *** now..so smooth!

Q, how much will you charge me to mine ?

I'm not as motivated & detail orientated as you. Especially with the OCD....I know you knock it out and it'll look good !

Yeah clay baring is very easy Chris. It's polishing that is a another level. You should get with Mackie, black cars are RIDICULOUS to keep clean / swirl free. Swirls are dead easy to spot as well.. it kinda sucks..but once you get her polished up holy smokes the reflection is INSANE.

Should get with Mackie (ZSpectrum) he knows his ****..has a lot of good high end products..rotary machine the whole nine yards and is a good guy..With black you'll need more then a clay bar just to get her looking really good.

Some 50/50 shots of what it'll look like before and after. Funny is a lot of peoples car really look like this, they just don't look at it hard enough. Black/brighter colors are EXTREMELY easy to spot..silver/white is a lot harder to see. I can see some on mines but its minor and nowhere near extreme. I'm going to polish it sometime in the summer.

That might be cool if we can get Mackie to agree.

My paint looks like the before shot.

Hey,

Does any body have the Cliff Notes for Squeaky ?

All I know is that I got a Root Canal on Thursday AM, great pain killers thursday PM, and don't remember anything else since then ???

Oh, yeah....I did have a 12th Anniversary on Sunday.

Maybe Jake or Kristi can fill you in.

Glad to have you back in the big DFW.

I might actually go next Monday since it's memorial day and I'm never off monday's.. Heard they had a total of about 701 vehicles, vip garage parking (for exotics and highly modified car, maybe your car can make it in there nexx?)..they had sponsors from redbull giving out drinks, colters bbq catering,..sounded like a sweet meet..

Nexx post pictures of the seats or DIAF!
