my paint is a bit rough - never was really that smooth since the car sat in a lot with trees for about three months....prior to delivery..any tips or advice??
im going to buy the mothers kit....

 

Under general forums check out "Detailing and Automotive". It's easy to clay and it works great.

 

It's incredibly effective. My only tip would be that you don't have to use the detail spray for the lubrication - slightly soapy water in a spray bottle will work just as well.

The first time I clayed - I used the detail spray - the 2nd time - I just used the soapy water.

Wax after the claybax and it'll be like glass!

 

is it easier to use soapy water? because im not gonna wax it until the next day...and i dont want to re-wash it.. so i thought the spray lubricant (which is mothers showtime) would be better?/

 

It doesn't take that long to clay the car. You should wash it and wax/polish it the same day if possible.

As for the lubricant, I don't really think it makes a difference. Just make sure your soapy water is a good car wash soap.
