Opps......posted the same time as you......i was responding to maxboost's post. As for the clay thing, well, i just feel like it's too abrasive unless you throw it out after very little use, and thats too expensive. (why is a little bar of that so damn expensive anyway?!!) Also, i'm deathly afraid of abrasives of any kind on a dark car. While you may not notice the fine swirling or scratches directly, the more there is the more the car just doesn't have that factory new paint look. Thats why i always buy silver cars...doesn't show near as much. But having gotten such a great deal on this graphite coupe, and the fact that i just began to love that color, i couldn't pass it up. So i'm just kinda paranoid right now since i just got it. (in 6 mo. or a year i'll probably be claiying it to death tho )
