Clayed and Waxed

So, I've been neglecting the cobalt this season because I've had alot going on. But today, I took the time and clay bar'd the whole car. Pretty much followed Hatrickstu's how-to except for the buffing part(don't have a buffer). Washed, clayed, washed again and then waxed it. I know the pics suck cuz they're shot from my phone as it's all I have. But, the things I used were:
Clay Magic Clay Bar
Meguiars car soap
lots of clean, dry towels
Eagle1 NanoWax







I would also like to add that I didn't get to finish the car off cuz I had my g/f breathing down my neck making me feel like an ******* for spending time keeping up with my car.

g's....nobody givin me no opinions

when taking pics try turning the steering wheel one full turn to the left or right depending on which side your taking the image from, it will give better images. just dont take pics of the tread. other than that it looks good

Haha, the GF knows her place, but, she is in school, so I can usually get away with doing car stuff when she is in school or off playing ball.

Looks good! I kinda have a thing for yellow on the Balts (normally I hate it, but I like it on the balt). I clayed and waxed mine shortly after I debadged it... gotta say, its the first car I have ever clayed, and man its gorgeous. I'm thinking about doing the DD here when i get some time and motivation...
