I can clay my entire car in about 30 min or less, never thought it took too long to do. Not bad for a 10 yr old Z eh?

Well damn how many times a year are you claying and are you polishing after?

Here's about the best I have until her next wash. I clay two times a year, once in early July and a final one right before it gets put away for the winter so it's ready to go in the spring. Each time a full polish and wax afterwards using a Porter Cable 7424xp. I do also give it a quick wax with the P.C. once a month since I have hard water where I live just to maintain the depth of the black. I don't know about everyone else but I've found the easiest way to clay a car is first I just wash the entire car and rinse. After that while the car is still wet and I have a full bucket of soapy water I use my wash mitt and soapy water in one hand and the clay in another and I go panel by panel and soap it and clay it at the same time followed by a rinse. One panel at a time until the whole car is done and rinsed then it's on to drying and the polish/wax. Seems to be working for me since I dont have that many mods but I do get lots of compliments on how clean and shiny it is.

Hey Mike, I picked one up a few years ago, I just couldn't stay away. Ive been stalking your track beast for some time, looking good/fast as usual. I see Brando came back too but with a GTR.

yep.

I do the same thing with the clay, a big bucket of dish soap water, wash the panel then clay it using the dish soap water also as lube and rinse. works quick and easy.
