Members from 3 regional clubs filter in and out, kind of like an open invitation to all. Quite a few of us are crossmembers.

Nothing special, the main criteria for these sessions is to have a half way decent finish in the first place. Clay barring does not take out scratches nor swirl marks, it simply removes built up contamination that settles on the finish over periods of time, which can leave a duller look. By using copiuos amounts of detail liquid to lubricate the clay over the finish, it makes it smooth and leaves a nice shine. They always look better going out than they did coming in.

When the recipient come here, this is what is required of him:
Bring a clean car.
Bring a dozen bagels or donuts.
Bring Meguiars or Mothers Clay Kit.
Bring one extra bottle of detail spray, any.
Bring 10 new or clean microfiber rags.

One of the guys clay bar, one wipes up the heavy detail liquid left on finish, the third hand buffs to a nice shine. Takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete. This is not a complicated process, it's oretty darn simple. Do this with a bunh of buddies, you'll be laughing your *** off ragging on each other......

Congrats on a real team effort. We do Texas Hold'em, but maybe we should do this instead, starting with my C6
