Re: The Clay Bar Thread

I finally went out and bought a clay bar kit. The paint on my car is terrible these days. The roof is nearly white, along with some other patches coming up worse now. Since I bought another car and the Talon is probably going to be in storage during the winters now, I'm thinking I may get it painted.

But in the meantime, I bought a kit and got some nice results. Paint still looks shitty, but it's nice and glossy. Did the drivers door, hood, front fender and bumper. My buddy noticed it right away at night from just the reflection. It's super smooth compared to the rest of the car. Actually headed out there right now to get some more done. Here's a couple pics. Camera phone couldn't capture the glossy to well except on the hood.





Right side "Before". Left side "After".
