Default Meguiars Clay Bar Stuff......

My wife got me one of them Meguiars Clay Bar kit things at the store the other day. I've never really used anything like that before. Unfortunately, I'm putting the Jeep back in the shop for a while, because things are getting kinda tight again, and I need to drive my little S10 for a while. Let's face it, no matter what gas costs, 30 MPG is better than 20 or so any day. Anyway, before I put it up, my son washed it up real good and we did the clay bar treatment and then waxed it with some Meguiars polish wax. I think it did a real nice job. See what yall think.

The mud should slip right off!

Hope the JK doesn't have to sit too long in the garage so you can test my theory!

Clay bars work wonders. They pull out the very small particles that get imbedded in the paint. If you run the back of your hand over the paint you can really feel how smooth it is after you're done. Looking good!
