So I had another detail job yesterday. The paint was in pretty rough shape, but it came out absolutely perfect. There is not a swirl on the car now and the paint looks three feet deep. Unfortunately its been cloudy here the last couple days, so I could not get any real good pics.

if you havent clayed before, the main thing to do is to keep it well lubed the whole time and continue to fold the clay over
its probably in rough shape and you will need a maching buffer to get rid of most the stuff. i use a Porter Cable 7424, and then its really up to you as to what you want to use for compounds, polishes and sealants
