Taught my Friend how to clay a car today...
Well, we had just gotten back from angeles crest and his car was looking pretty (really) dirty. I said i'd wash it for him b/c i didn't take my car and rode with him.
we finish washing it (i have perfected the wheel cleaning btw haha :)), and i remembered that i had an old claybar (it wasn't completely gone, but i don't want to use it on customer's cars).
i gave him the basic idea of claying and showed him how to do it, and he went on to do his whole car while i fixed a couple holograms :D
I waxed the hood b/c i wanted to see how his paint looked, and after a few passes with xmt 4 and xmt 2, the keying that was on his hood is practically invisible!
anyways, here are pics (sorry, this was all done at night lol)
Basically,
Wash: DP Autobathe w/ schmitt
Wheels: DP Cleanse All, EZ Brush, AA foam spray
Clay: DP Clay/Lube
Polish: XMT4, XMT2
Wax:Just the hood with Natty's Blue
Before: we had been off roading, so his car was a mess
There was dirt like this all over the car
