DIY: Mothers Clay Bar System...
....Or you can just look at the instructions that comes in the box.
Over a period of time your paint gets a build up of contaminants and particle debris. These things will certainly dull the color. In georgia we have alot of pine trees and parking under one is not a good idea... tree sap will really mess up a good paint job. Go up to your local parts store and pick up the Mothers Clay Bar Paint Saving System. I was amazed how good the results were. It's nothing like having a $1000 paint job but it really brings the color back.

1. Wash and Dry your car...
2. I attempted the Claying part in sunlight on a warm day... id do it in the garage though. Make sure the paint is not hot. Apply the Mothers instant detailer that comes in the kit. Only do this process one panel at a time.
When using the clay make sure it never hits the ground or gets any dirt on it. Using a back and forth motion, do not press hard. you can hear the contaminants being removed. keep spraying when necessary to keep the surface wet.
3. After the panel off done, use a soft terry cloth... in my case a hand towel lol. Firmly press down removing the spray detailer. Replace your terry cloth with a dry one if you need too.
4. Fold the clay bar over and repeat steps 1-3. Now it looks a little better...
5. Not done yet... Finally i decided to pull the car into the garage. The system comes with a small bottle of Mothers Cleaner Wax. I forgot to get new pads for the buffer so i did this with a small applicater pad.
6. Of course you all know how to wax a car... Use small circular motions... if you don't know how, go watch Karate Kid....
When your all done you get this....
Hood.... look at the clouds :banana

The End
