Default Updated pics of my car...

I did the best with it I could. The camera didn't like to focus correctly, its a little old. I'm looking for suggestions and feedback I guess.

You dawn washed, then Clayed, right? Anyways, looks great though. I love AIO, Clay Magic, and S100 Paste.

"You dawn washed, then Clayed, right?"

Well kind of, I clayed after a wash, it was a week later when I got the rest of my products and decided to start the rest of the process. It was during the summer and the car didn't get used much, so a week of waiting was nothing.

You are right though, that is the correct way to do it. I wish I had waited and clayed afterwards, but i ran out of clay. It was pretty dirty cause i did my windows.

You waited a week and then used the clay bar? :nono: And agreed with cutting the bar, but thirds is a little too much. When clay bars were a little bigger a few years ago, sure, but now they're getting pretty small.

Any issues with the Klasse SG and hazing? It loves to do that. I need to try Zaino, I don't like Klasse or Blackfire a whole lot.

"You waited a week and then used the clay bar? "

Nope, I washed, clayed, waxed. Then a week later when the rest of my stuff came from Autopia, I dawn washed and started the rest of the process. The first wax was Mothers Reflections.

To take off SG, I used two microfiber towels. One was damp and the other was dry. I used the damp towel first, then buffed with the dry one. I did this one panel at a time though. I got this method from JimWH on autopia. here is a link to his exact Klasse instructions.

You may have to join autopia to view it, but for this thread alone, it is definitely worth it.
