i got the me Meguiar's kit also, my car is white and the back bumper has yellow specs, and there are also some black specs on the paint. i hope this clay can get some of that crap off the paint. it has been to damn hot in houston to get out and clay and wax the car tho. i might try it on the back bumper this weekend to see how it does on the yellow specs.

do it on the shade ,first wash the car and dry, the use the spray and spray ur hand or the clay bar will stick to your hand very easy, now do the edges and then the rest on circular motion from top,hood,trunk and then the sides if the liquid gets dry dnt worry just finish the car and wash it again, after that wax it i recommend u mothers or eagle 1 products dnt wax it on the sun, then take the wax of with a microfiber towel. and like the other guy said dont pick up any lil rocks with the clay bar or u will scratch the paint

i just finished using the clay on my car works great but my car is white so no matter how long i rubbed the clay on the back bumper and trunk lid i couldnt get all the yellow pollen specs out of the paint. i used the eagle one nano wax after the clay, im so tired i dunno if i can get the wax off. its so hot.

how long can i leave the wax on the car? i got the hood and fenders buffed out but im about to pass out in this houston humidity.
