Clay Bar'ed my car and some night pics... (56k=go away)

Well used the Clay Bar today for the first time and what a difference. So much nicer than I have ever seen her... Some night pics...

There was NO photoshoping of these pics. If someone wants to mess around with a few of them, go right ahead...

the bumper looks untouched....theres alot more involved to make your car shine than just clay baring it.....any black car is going to look shiny at night.

but atleast its a step in the right direction. looks pretty good none the less

claybarring does help the paint look better because it does what you said, clean most everything off of the clear coat. as Stealth said, this is the first step. then would come the rest (compounds/swirl removing, polishing, sealing and waxing).

more pics, please.

Nice car, ive always loved NBP, but its just a biotch to keep clean. Too many pictures though, lol. Especially the first few were somewhat redundant and blurry. Keep the car clean

The front bumper was washed, scrubbed and waxed. not bar'ed there is no point in doing the front bumper as its in horrible condition. Nothing can help it now other than a complete repaint. OR a new cover... depending on which way i want to go, i might just get a new front bumper and have that sprayed, and then the hood.

Other than the picture quality/lighting being terrible, car looks good.

Take the tint off of your headlights. It's riced out and takes away from the character of the front end.
