my first clay job!!!

In the last 15 years I have barely owned a vehicle that needed wax, much less claying. I have been reading your detailing processes for several weeks and decided that I would try it. I placed an order from autogeek.net that took a weeks salary and commenced to detail. This claybar stuff is da bomb. I think you guys have been intentionaly keeping it from me. I finished it off with a coat of Klasse AIO and a coat of Klasse sealer. My 04 Mini looks better than cars I've seen on the showroom floor. Thanks for all of your tips.

Now add two layers of Pinnacle Sourveign on top of the twins and it will knock your socks off
