yeah your link just leads to their how-to directory. There are tons of products out there and really it's all about how much people like whatever they're using. I personally prefer Klasse + P21S for my own vehicle, but I have used a ton of products and came to my own conclusion. I know lots of people adore Zaino Bros. (which I don't), so it's all about personal preference.

You wouldn't think so, but I did it and the difference was astounding. The way the cars are shipped, they pick up tons of little things which embed themselves in the paint. If you ever need justification for clay bar use, even on a new car, do one panel and leave the other one alone. Rub your hand across both panels and you'll feel the difference immediately. I did clay/cleaner/glaze/wax on my car about three weeks after I got it.

white is the hardest color to get a good pic of after you wax it. people say that you can never get a relection out of it and i probably could of took pics in a different area, but i was tired. you can see the difference from the shots in the garage

jaydub is right. the finish is so amazingly smooth once the 3 step process is finished. at first i was hesitate because the car did feel somewhat smooth, but after i finshed everything up it was way beyond a dealer finish

Yes I was talking about the P21S which the author of that site seems to think is the best out there.

if you want to try the clay bar i suggest either the mothers or clay magic. there is lube provided with the clay bar. you was your car first and then do small sections 1' x 1' or 2' x 2' on the car and wipe it off as you go. ig you have any questions feel free to email me
