Thanks guys.

It was a total bitch to clay the whole car. It took me like 4 hours to clean, clay, wax, dust and 303 the interior. I even waxed the wheels.

I'm glad it wasn't 1000 degrees outside.

Very clean, I can't tell from the pictures if you used a polish/sealant and wax after or not only because the car is silver. But after claying I think a nice optimum compound and Meguiar's NXT or P21S would make that thing look extremely wet.

wax remover
sealant/ glaze
and caranuba wax

It sure came out nice!

Those are silver, right? I think I actually like the Silver more than the chrome.

Looks good man. So what's the actual difference between claying and straight up waxing?

Claying removes dirt and other particles trapped in the surface layer. Waxing sets up a protective layer of wax to protect your paint. Much more detailed info can be had in the Wash & Wax section.
