Default Never had to clay bar a vehicle 3 times!

I decided to clay the Durango today and after the first run, the white clay bar turned brown... Usually I can use a clay bar on up to 5 or more cars... I had to do the Durango 3 times in a row! That clay bar is toast now! I just don't understand how it got SO dirty! But after the clay, I did a round of Scratch-X and followed that with some cleaner wax... Last step is the awesomeness of the Meguires Next Gen wax... That is some of the SMOOTHEST wax I have EVER used... Only downside is that it doesn't really last all that long... I got rid of half of the scratches from offroading but am still not completely satisfied... It looks SO much better, but I guess I am just used to doing black cars and having the outcome be like none other... You get more results out of detailing a black car, than you do a red one! Picks to come when I am not in so much pain...

LOL! For $45 I detail the whole exterior... Extra $10 I do the interior... It's my only real job... Even though after each one, I can hardly move for a couple of days...

By the time you done with mine you won't move for a week!......LOL

I can think of a couple ways you can make some extra cash with wax on/wax off.....LOL


Seriously, mine is such bad shape I cringe even thinking of doing it.

$55 for an interior/exterior detail? Now that's cheap. Triple that here for a C+ level type of job.

Yeah, since it pretty much used to be a fun hobby of mine, until I ran into back problems, I charge very little...

Do you use a random orbital buffer? or just hand apply the wax?

Boy, I should slap you! You can NEVER get as good of a job with a buffer as you can with a good old hand job...

LOL! But really, I only use buffers when I am doing hardcore rubbing compound or polishing...
