Default Well, was the 5 hrs of wash/dry/clay/wash/dry/glaze/wax worth it? BW Warning
I washed the car last weekend and noticed TONS of black spots all over the car, even on the roof. I don't know if it was overspray or asphalt from paving. It was everywhere. So this weekend, I got out the clay bar to clean it up. Now it's smooth as a baby's bottom.

These pics were taken just after the glaze step because I knew it would be too dark after I got done waxing.

Products:
Mothers Gold car wash
Wash mitt
California Squeege Thing for drying
Omega 1 Glaze
Omega 1 Blitz Wax
Baby's toothbrush to pick the wax out of the cracks
Several old t-shirts
Windex

looks good but remember time is the ultimate thief--youll never get those 5 hours back!

This was my semi-annual full detail. Normal is around 2 hours for wash/dry/detail.

Plus that's meditation! There is a proven connection between car detailing and stress relief!
