Finally got to clay bar my RDX after a long winter

Finally the weather here in Vancouver has warmed up enough to ~ 12C, that I could wash my RDX and clay bar it. The clay bar process took me about 1 hour, as I had to take intermittent rest, lots of grit to remove from the paint. I got the Meguiar's clay bar kit, two pieces of clay bar, and it works really well. There are still some small brown spots, but the paint surface is real smooth.
Plan to remove the spots with some cleaner wax.

What a difference the clay bar makes to the car...

Can't wait to do mine, too. I need the weekends to warm up first, though. I haven't even put the hoses back outside yet. Clay bar makes a big difference in the long-term look and feel of the paint, for sure. My 7 year old TSX's paint looked almost brand new due to being clayed 2x a year. Love how it feels like glass afterwards!
