mothers clay bar and carnuba wax stuff

I know this has been covered before I just wanted to revive it and say what an awesome product it is.I have waxed my car in years past and have never seen my cars paint look this good.It is way better than just waxing.I had pretty much given up on my paint ever looking good again and accepted the fact that I had an old faded paint job.After using this mothers product my car looks unbelievably good.If you`ve never used it or ever thouht about useing it,do it.Worth every penny.Cant say enough good things about it.Only now,the chips,scratches,and little dings seem a little more noticeable but the car really shines for the first time since I bought it.I still need a paint job but its the next best thing.

Re: mothers clay bar and carnuba wax stuff

Use Mequiars Gold Class liquid wax. It costs a bit more than the regular stuff, but is worth it. Also, as I am sure you know, always use a clean microfiber applicator pad too. What you have done so far looks real good and has made a noticeable difference.

Re: mothers clay bar and carnuba wax stuff

Not to split hairs but for $1 more Meguiars gives you 2 more oz of clay and a 1 square foot polishing cloth. Car looks great.

Re: mothers clay bar and carnuba wax stuff

I tried the Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar ICE and it worked great too. Used Megulars polish and glaze and car came out looking great. Clay Bar is the key. Makes a car look new once you get the gunk off the body.
