EASTER= A Time for Clay and Polish
Well after being off work for over a week (vacation) I decided to claybar and polish the AE. As usual it came out great and I really suggest to everyone to clay their car before they finish the detailing. It is amazing how smooth and refective the surface becomes when it is truly clean.

Wrong Ways? Use lots of Quick Detailer, nead your clay after each panel, and if you drop it....throw it away.
Should take about 1/2 of a large bottle of QD and take you about 30 minutes. You will be very happy with the results.
Good Luck

Keep the surface wet don't let it start to dry.
Put a clean towel down on the floor just below where you are working, especially the sides which may help save the clay from contamination if you, and you most likely will, drop it.
Work a square foot area or so at a time. Wipe it clean with a damp towel and move to the next area.
Wash the vehicle afterwards and apply a coat of polish if not two following the claying.
Nice job!
