Heh, I just used a claybar for the first time today. It is amazing. And the kit I used (Mother's) made my car smell like cinnamon. Bonus. Well, until I waxed it. But it's still amazing.

My fiance's car was looking pretty rough, so I was gunna be nice and wash it for her... well after wasting 45 minutes scrubbing, I was like... screw it, were claying this crap. Ended up taking like 7 hours to wash and wax her car clean.

My parents are going to make me clay their car. That's a 97... That's never been clayed, and have been rarely waxed.

Bah.

My fiance's car is a 98 cavalier 4 door that only gets washed when it rains.

It was a long, long tideous process, but man I have the car looking brand new now.
