Detail spray usually comes with the clay bars as a package. You can get the Meguairs kit right off the shelf at Wal-Mart, O'Reilly's etc. It works just as well as any expensive stuff you could get from AutoGeek. Just be sure to wash your car using Dawn dishwashing soap to strip any wax that may be still on the car. Spray the detail spray generously as you work the clay bar over the surface. Make sure you work the clay bar really well and pay attention to any contaminants you pick up off the surface onto the clay bar. Don't use the clay bar on the plastic molding around the car, metal only.

After that, you can continue on to whatever else you would like to do like the swirl remover, polish, wax etc.

Or, you can pay Nic to do it all for you if you want to be a slacker. Haha.

It's not hard at all, just time consuming. You should do it today or tomorrow while it's going to be in the 70's. This weekend is going to be really cold and I doubt you will do it then unless your garage is heated.

If you were ever around anymore I'd be glad to show you how to do it.

My schedule has sucked lately. I work usually 50 hours a week, Angela works full time and goes to school at night. Luckily this is her last week for the semester. Sean was playing baseball 3 days a week, so my schedule has been crazy. Now I finally get a break in my schedule and the weather is going to be shitty, but that's usually my luck.
