Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos Not bad for a couple days' work

So for father's day and the next day I was working on a couple things and thought I would show some pictures of the fruits of my labor.

Got my father a gas grille to replace our oldddddddd grille of about 15 years Took about 3 hours and a bloody foot after I dropped a large piece of metal on it. Anyways, here it is.





Secondly, I decided to clay bar my car after heaing lots of friends talk about it and having no idea what the process consisted of. After asking around, I got a clay bar kit and went to work. I'm pretty happy with the results.







That's it, just wanted to share.

Out of interest, what is the process with a clay bar?

If you buy a kit like I did, it's made by Mother's and cost around $20, it gives you a little sheet on how to go about using it. But basically you spray down a "spray and wipe" wax liquid and then rub the clay around the area that you sprayed. The spray sort of acts like a lubricant I guess and eventually all the impurities will be taken up by the bar and you can move onto the next section. Make sure to do it on a cool surface in the shade.

Mmmmmmmmm claybar!!

I did Zaino's process a while ago on the Tour, and MAN I love the way it turned out...Glass smooth all over!!! It was beautiful,

as is your car!! Very nice job...




P.S. More pictures of your fathers deck?????

so is the clar bar more of a touch-up thing for imperfections/blemishes or is it to be used all around?

im interested, mines got all kinds of "blemishes" no thanks to my work anyways
