I picked up a jar of the Meguiar's mild detailing clay and a 32oz bottle of Meguiar's Quick detailer for my first attempt.
We will see how I do on my big ole black rig.

The HyHoe is about to be 2 years old ... so I'm thinking she's due for a little refreshing.

I think I'm going to drop her off next week for a full inside and out detail, including clay, and probably including paint correction (compounding) and maybe even an engine detail.

I'm just wondering if I should wait till spring ... but I suppose any time is as good a time as any. :)

Btw, the detailer offers a wet sanding option for an extra $75 ... I'm not sure exactly what that involves and if it's worth doing. :think:

I usually do mine twice a year.

Serge have you seen any of his work before? We sanding and buffing would be a good idea if he knows what he is doing.

Thats what the clay reminded me of, the old school wet sanding and buffing...

He needs some before and after pics but sounds pretty decent.

Claybar makes a very nice finish. I do it almost every time I wax
