I spent a good amount of time cleaning the car up over the weekend and snapped a few pics of the results The reflection is of the canopy I had the car parked under, along with the leaves that were laying on top of it and the windshield wipers that I had pulled up. I tried the black wax by Turtle Wax. It worked amazingly well, I know there isn't a chance of it lasting very long but to me its well worth the time to re-apply it. The colored wax seems to be a good route to take if you're wanting to hide scratches temporarily for a car show... cruise-in etc etc.

Here are a few shots of the bumper after I used a claybar on it as well. Once again, I was very happy with how it came out as well. I'd definately recommend anyone to use a claybar to remove all of the dirt and grim that embeds itself into the bumper. I remember in another post some people were asking for pics of the results. Hopefully these pics are good enough to give you an idea

 

That looks great!

 

can you run down what you did in order? (like washed then clay'ed then waxed....etc)
im gonna clay my car on thursday and i have no clue on the order i should do it in ....i was thinking wash with dish soap (to get rid of old wax), claybar it, wash with car wash soap, re-wax.....that sound about right?....also, did you clay the brake lights and turn signals?
TIA

 

Don't use dish soap. Clay will remove everything.

Wash
Clay
Wash
Wax

 

I washed the car with Dawn dish soap, then the clay bar... I used quick detailer to keep the surface wet while cleaning with it. I wiped it all down then I waxed it with the color wax. It wouldn't hurt to wash it again before waxing but it seemed to work fine the way I did it. This weekend when I re-do it for a car show I may do the method you mentioned and see how it turns out.

There are two huge pics of the car for a photo shoot I had Sunday... its in black and white but it give you an idea of the shine I was able to get out of the wax

 

It came out very nice. I wouldn't bother claying again, though. Your method is fine (I prefer it over the wash/clay/wash method, I'd rather just buff it off). You won't remove anything by claying again...so just wash it, and reapply the wax if you'd like.

 

And don't use Dawn again after the first time. Nice work.

 

Where did you get the colored wax from and whats it called?

The car looks awesome. My next car is gonna be a black ws6. They look so cool!
