Re: just clayed and wash/waxed car

get some direct sunlight shots. Looks pretty wet. What clay did you use? Did you just lubricate it with QD or did you wash the car and clayed/qd it at the same time? What wax you go with? Applied by hand or machine? You gotta love the clay, see all the black and crap sticking on to it and feel your paint like its glass. Becareful with clay though because it can leave marring esp on black if you dont lubricate both the clay and paint good enough. Also make sure you inspect your clay so you can roll it up and go over it with a good side.

i would invest your money on a orbital PC with good set of pads (cutting/med cut/polishing and finishing pad) Great for swirl removal and paint defects. Plus its dummy proof unlike a rotary.
