another believer in clay bars

well after doing my clutch I had some energy left to give my new cl a bath. this is the first time I have used a clay bar but I have heard such good things about them.

before clay bar


after clay bar (and 2 coats of wax)







i do like this car

next I need front struts so I am planning on a drop way to much gap in those wheel wells

Make sure to get the spoiler trunk springs too or your trunk will hit you on the head when you'll least expect it (like on a hill or something).
