read all over about how long you should wait. anywho. i waited 3 months..

so should i clay my car before i wax it????

 

First off... you know the unwritten rule...



New paint these days cures within 48 hours. The paint chemicals are pretty awesome. They say wait 30 days for the paint to "cure" before waxing, but if the paint is that new, you shouldn't NEED to clay bar it. If you really wanna go through that trouble though, you're probably good to go.

 

^^ yea need to see it.

 

i will get pics up, but the paint job is pretty bad. the body work is great. the paint is so transparent you can see all the bodywork. the guy(a friend of my brothers)painted it by code, but it looks pretty bad.

 

What is your reasoning for wanting to clar bar the car before a wax?

 

clay will not fix the fact that you can see the bodywork in the paint

 

to get all the sheet metal, as clean as it can be, before a wax.

ya, i know that, just tryin to protect the paint. even if its bad.


i shouldnt even say bad, it was a decent job. anyone know about this. i bought a can of touch-up paint a year ago. guy said something about honda must have been experimenting with candy colors?

 

you still dont have any pictures?
this would give a better explanation of what it looks like lol

 

It's brand new paint, shouldn't have any contaminants in it.


People use the **** out of claybar like it's supposed to be a part of the detailing process. Reality is, that you really only need to do it MAYBE twice a year.

 

alright here are some pics(better late than never), so what do you guys think:
