it feels that way after the polymer protection...the claying just helps with not feeling little nibs in the paint.

^^^ yeah, in a month, I need to clay and do the 4 step (compound, polish, wax, sealant)....I usually do the 4 step once a year since I dont wanna use abrasive compounds/pads on the car tooo often...

Eager to see what Dan's car comes out looking

I look forward to giving my paint some love...the better it looks overall, the better it hides all the nasty imperfections I have going.

Yeah it's filthy. I have a jungles worth of bugs on the front and on the side mirrors. Roof is yellow with pollen and there are leaves stuck on the side skirts from the rain last week and the drive back to school. It's pretty bad.

Dan, the black hood isn't a bad idea at all......


You've got the Silver/Black theme going. I bet the black hook would really set your TL off!
