Very nice. I clayed my car for the first time a few weeks ago. I couldn't stop touching it and have everyone I know feel it too. Definitely worth the work!

That was the 3rd time I claybar my car in 2 months. I keep up with it, I am usually not in the mood but once I start I keep going. Clayin after the 1st time seems way easier and quicker.

cool...never heard of the hybrid in the HOV..might have to look into that.

I want to clay bar my car but never have nor do i know how. Figure its something i'll have to learn over the summer. Nice drop with the springs. How does it feel? stock shocks?

Nice job! You guys do know that clay is an abrasive and can cause light marring. I clay 2x a year, once before the winter season and then in the spring. I also notice some swirls on sT04Louis first pic. Recommend using a polish to get rid of those as well as rejuvenate the paint prior to applying a layer of wax/sealant.

There's a tutorial in the W&W forum entitled Proper Claying Techniques. Y'all be careful or you might get bitten by the detail bug and once the addiction starts, kinda hard to stop . . .

Not sure how that works in CT, but in CA, that shit WILL NOT fly. Just having a "hybrid" badge doesn't work. You need one of these all over your back bumper to be able to ride in the HOV or carpool lane:
