Clay Bar

[LRotter]

Thanks for the info, AndyMan. I am definitely tempted to get that starter kit you linked to. The price is pretty good and I think it would work for getting me up and going. What the hell, the wife already thinks there's something wrong with me for spending so much time cleaning and shining my truck. It's good to know I'm not the only one with an obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to their truck, Oo.

My whole neighbor hood thinks I'm crazy, as much as I'm out there. My wife doesn't mind to much because she know's it's how I unwined at the end of the day. Berry Meguire needs to start a show called truck crazy. I used the new wax from Turtle wax called "ICE"... Strange stuff, but I'm blind now from looking into that silver paint so long. Let's just say I was taking in some sun. It's $14. 00 a bottle, but once you get the applicator wet, you can do damn near your whole truck. It doesn't even look like I used anything from the bottle. I like it because you can use it on your trim, door handles with no ill effects. No white residue, that's what sold me...

I have had pretty good luck with a "quick wax" from Rain-X. You can spray it on while the truck is still wet or use after you dried it off. I use it in between "good" waxes. It seems to do a pretty good job. I spray it on while my truck is wet and then wipe it down with a micro-fiber cloth. You can use it on your plastic trim too with no residue. I've done my truck with it about 5 times on one bottle. Not bad for about $4 a bottle.

I have not washed my truck in over two years. Oh the injustice. I'm sure some of you are horrified now.

Do a Google search on "Clay bar" and you will get mucho information on it. When your clay gets a little dirty and you don't want to use it on your paint, use it on your windows. Does the same thing for glass.

I find that when the clay bar gets dirty ( from proper use, not dropped in the sand) I can get it clean by washing/ messaging it under the hotest water I can stand. The dirt seems to work it's way out.

if I drop it, I'll wash it and keep it for windows.

thanks guys
