This time I used Mothers because it was on sale for 25% off. Meguiars is just as good, maybe better.

haha, I love the song at the end. Great video, my truck has never been waxed or claybared, I might be able to find some time this summer to do claybar.

holy crap your son sings alan jackson!! what more could you ask for!!

Thanks for the video...i was wanting to ask about the whole clay bar issue...will it remove small specks of rust from the rocker panel? ive got alot of them and would like to see if i can clay bar em out before it gets worse...so will the clay work? also what should i be looking for in terms of the spray when i go to the store to get it? thanks.

Usually you can find a clay bar kit. It has the clay, a bottle of spray, and a microfiber towel. Rust is tricky, but I can tell you this, it will look better when you're done.

My son sings George, Trace, and Alan.

I picked up the Meguires clay today. I believe it is best to wax right after the clay bar.

Clay bar it first. Otherwise you have to strip the wax to claybar. Then wax it immediately afterwards.

Thanks RubberFrog. I had heard folks doing that, but had absolutely no idea how to do it. With my school load and work, I'll have to take a day off, but it'd be worth it I think....
