A huge THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks to everyone on this board for all the great info. I clayed my entire mini today. This is something that I wouldnt have known to do, wouldnt have known how to do, and wouldnt have had the courage to do; without the tips on this board. James is three weeks old and I was amazed at the amount of dirt he had on him.

The prima products (i got the super duper bundle) we great and easy to work with, again thanks for the advice there.

I have water spots on the bonnet stripes and sunroof and no amount of clay would get them off, but im sure somebody here can help me in that regard.

Ill post pics after I put on my second coat of epic!

Thanks again to everybody...this place rocks!

For the water spots, try diluted vinegar, or dilute alcohol, either mixed 50/50 with water should work, then spot wax the area.

Can't wait to see the results.

the vinegar mix works well when you saturate a towel and just let it
lay on top of the water stain for a good 5-10min. the stain
needs to be soaked during that time.

if that doesn't work, just polish it out.
