[QUOTE="Eggie86, post: 502833, member: 16239"] No worries man. Just sharing my experience with a fellow enthusiast. Actually, claying on its own doesn't do much other than to remove contaminants and dirt and tar from the paint work, thus leaving it with a mirror-like surface. Yes, it will be noticeably smoother after claying, but in order to really make the paintwork shine, and for protection, i.e, water beading etc, a layer of wax will definitely make your car even better. Like you said, time isn't a luxury for you, and even more so to many of us. As it stands, I normally only clay once every few months, and wax occasionally. I wouldn't stop at claying alone, if possible, perhaps you can opt to spend a bit more time to apply a layer of wax, and believe me, you'd be very amazed at the end result. And yes, the car's surface will be even smoother than before... I've tried it... Threw a cloth over the bonnet and it just effortlessly slipped away. :p [/QUOTE]
