After taking my car to get a hand wash, I decided to clay and polish the car myself. I have been reading some of the posts by others who use products such as swissvax and am very impressed with the results. I was thinking to myself, do these products really make a difference? As I was about to place an online order, I notice the $300.00 price tag!!!
I guess the swissvax can wait until next time. Meanwhile, I used The Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit and Turtle Wax: Ice Paste Polish. Here are the results. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Looks good, took me 6 months before I clayed my car (first time I had any of my cars clayed), will definitley do it again...I had a mobile service come to my work and do it...cost me $70 (including tip) for wash, wax, clay, and he even steamed the engine....
