man.... thats real good...

i have claymagic... and either i'm not doing it right, my paint doesn't need to be clayed, or clayMagic just sucks... but I don't notice a difference (my paint is a year old but it does have hard water spots that i can't get rid of using the clayMagic)

I had lots of crap in the paint, even after waxing you could run your hand across the hood and feel the crap. Now its like glass....totally unreal!!
The car feels like it has new paint!!! Well worth it.


Check out the cloud action in the hood.....Black just rocks!!!


Agreed, Black Rocks

Black rocks + 1

Amazing job mate, it looks fantastic. How bad was your paint before you used the claybar?

The usual 10 year old looking paint...the previous owner was a old man, and only took it to the car wash....so its realy never been detailed till I got it.

It took about twice as long as waxing....But I'm very **** when it comes to things like that! So I guess you could go through it quicker.

I'm new to the Sc series and i was not sure why your front bumper looked so different. I might be blind or just not getting it.

Clay magic is certainly a good product, you get more clay and value compared to Megs kit....From my experience, both products does the job as well as the other..

Great looking black SC you got there.....Nice work...

Cool thanks for the heads up I've got some kinda industrial fall out from when the car was in Japan (looks horrible) I'm hoping that the clay bar will help things out (doing everything I can before it has to be done professionally).

Once again looks the goods!
