So im not sure if this goes here but here we go... today i stopped by my local auto zone and spend about $50 Bucks on cleaning supplies because my car needed a serious deep tissue massage... i started out by a simple wash and dried it by hand... then used the Mothers clay bar and then a mother wax... i dont have any pics of the process just the after...keep in mind i am by no means good at detailing my car, i normally just wash it and be done with it... but im very happy with the results... if any detailing gurus have any advice for me or suggestions or even critisims please let me know im thick skinned....

enjoy

Well my paint felt like 1500 grit sandpaper lol and between the wash and dry and everything, prolly around 3.5 hours
