A day of clay and a can of Red

[nh3]

Not exactly a day but spent last night in the garage with a clay bar and wax. Put about 8 hours into it. The cloudy day doesn't do it justice. Last week I removed the factory strut bar then primed, sprayed and cleared.

i got my '05 in may/june of '05

A 3 year old car in New England and your gonna get a bit of road crap on the lower half. Black specks on white paint gets under my skin. Bug and tar remover wasn't cutting it but the clay did. The roughest parts were the roof at the top of the winshield and the trunk. The clay picked up alot of stuff in these areas even though I could see nothing in these spots. I'm freak'n anal when it come to this shet. I had halogen work lights shining on each panel as I went along. It's all part of my new car ritual anyway. It's my 5th white and my second pearl white. There ain't a speck of nothing on it now and it's smooth as glass. BTW I waxed with Meguiars NXT

8 hrs is a long time! It bet it looks way nice in person man! I would be so piss*d off if ran through a puddle though! Nice work.
