I ascribe to the WDD philosophy: Wash it, Dry it, Drive it.

The clay bar does not pick up any colour from the car. It merely becomes black with crap from the car you couldnt even see. You then fold it over so you are working with a clean bit of clay bar again. So basically spray with lube, then rub back and forth with the clay bar. Probably takes 15 minutes to do the whole car.
I would suggest the clay bar is an annual thing (or 6 months) rather than every wash.

When you get your twin screw supercharger connected , if you drive fast enough in the wind and rain you wont need to expand energy cleaning and barring up to your car. :p

Ok, time for the sloth to speak. :o

Heck, with the water restrictions and everything we've had since....forever....if I can't take this car down to the local ...(gasp) ...Carlovers about once a month....give it 10 mins of TLC ...and the odd back rub with...(gasp).. Polyglaze about twice a year, and that doesn't keep the paint and overall appearance pretty upscale for the period I will own the car, then I don't want to own the car

Hehehe. It all is, isn't it?

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW, Labby - I do like NuFinish. But I don't think it ever took all the "****" of the surface. I guess modern marketing is sucessfull, becuase as as good as it is, it is one of those things I'm sure I have seen being sold really cheap at Crazy Clarks et. al. Oh -you never came to get that grill kit fitted ??
