Yeah, it's the same thing here in Calgary. For the last month it has been -20 to -30 almost every night. Good grief, the Yukon and NWT are getting great weather

I've tried the Gold Class works well, but definately use the Polish/Wax after the cleaner it creates a better shine. The carnuba wax basically is a protectant. I don't use the Gold Class anymore. The first 3 steps cleaner/polish/wax are the easiest to take off than any other product I've tried.

thanks!

Thanks alot, it needs some work. It has some rust on the body, you cant really see it in the pictures , I am debating on a color like flyinlow89's, the platinum color, or a dark metal flake blue. Once I get some money saved up it is getting painted. You can see my webpage at members.cardomain.com/68fbird for more info and pics.

Does the claybar work well?

The mother's california gold claybar works very well, there is a night and day difference in the smoothness of your paint after you use it. Just make sure to use alot of instant detailers to keep your paint well lubbed, and don't use the Meguirs claybar because it leaves a nasty residue. Trust me i have used both brands.
