so yea today i finally washed my car using the 2 bucket method NOT at a high pressure wash place.. washed it at home in the bay area.. man that 2nd rinse bucket got DIIIIIIIRTY.. strange thou cause at those high pressure wash places that i normally goto (cause i couldnt for the longest time find a place to attach the hose to at my apartment) the 2nd rinse bucket would usually be slightly filled with dirt. but today man that bucket was like black

its a shame i was in a hurry and couldnt clay bar it (really needs it cause it hasnt been done since my parents got the car in 1996-7) and put on some pre-wax cleaner (maybe) and then wax it..

what do you guys recommend i use after i clay bar it but before i wax it? i know i got that PM from mikeddynamics but what about something i can pick up from like kragen or autozone etc

 

Whos to say you cant clay it now ? Either get a sprayer and ad some water, or grab your bucket, fill with some water, and go clay ! If you polish, you should clay. Its not a necessity, but it is the preferred route. Get some Meg's #9 and polish away, follow up with your favored carnauba or Polymer....Lets us know how she turned out !

 

i couldnt clay it cause i had to goto work and i havent bought any clay yet.. haha

thanks for the tip
