All Cleaned up
Today, my 19 year old son, claybared and waxed my car, for a late father's day gift. I thought I would share some pics after the clean up:

My son is awesome. I taught him how to detail a paint job very well. I have a Flex dual action polisher. The week of christmas, He spent over 40 hours doing an awesome detail on the paint. This weekend, it just needed a touch-up. He uses my 100% carnuba wax. it really brings out the shine.

You taught your son well 
It looks great. Black is a tough color that shows everything and really tests your detailing skills. The clay bar really gets all the imbedded junk out of your paint so you can start your polishing with a nice clean finish.
