My Clay/Wax Saturday Adventure
I decided to get out and clay and wax the CLS. Never have clayed before, but keep hearing about how wonderful it is.
I used:
Meguiar's Clay Kit (Clay, detailer, and Meguair's Complete Care Towel)
Cleaner Wax
NXT Wax
Meguiar's Plastic X for headlights
Plexis to clean XPel Clear Bra, and side clear pieces.
When I first started claying from the hood, I could not believe how much dirt and debris that was pulled from the car. I ended up using one clay bar for the car.
The end results (note I had not used the Plexis on the side pieces yet):

A friend of mine tried that, too. It was absolutely stunning - until he catched a tiny piece of sand into his clay. You cannot belive how he scratched his car before he noticed it. He went completely through the roof. He had to go to a professional to polish these scratches out... but it is still visible.
I would never, never do it on my car!

2007 CLS 550 (Black)
My car's a CLS and here's my first detailing job. Check out the Meguiar forums for tips and tricks. My friend is a MEG fanboy and got me hooked on car detailing. I'm not a MEG fanboy but I use their stuff because I thought they are well known...also after I detailed my car with their products...I liked what I saw! I also discovered that their discussion forum is informative, friendly, and helpful! Research!Research!Research!
