clay rules --- yes!

i got some pinnacle clay a couple of months back, and didn't have the time and/or the balls to try it on a car -- until last weekend.

it's awesome -- and fast and easy to use.

so here's what i did...

- wash a portion of the car
- rinse it off
- put soapy water / suds back on
- rub it with the clay
- wash and rinse again

you can really feel when the clay has finished doing its magic. it takes 3-5 light, fast passes over an area, and it's smooth as glass.

the next time i do it, i'll do the Dawn wash first, because i think i was picking up a lot of wax with the clay, probably shortening its life.

also, i'll keep an extra bucket of clean suds for clay lube. maybe a spray bottle. we'll see.

anyhow, the car's finish that i thought was permanently rough is so smooth, i love it.

it also gave me a chance to try out my new PC that i got for christmas putting wax back onto the car.

hopefully, if anyone else is sitting on the fence like i was, reading my experience will help to "see the light" and get that clay out!
