If you were closer I would do it, it definitely is a job. I do my 06 charger and coronet every year. Full detail usually takes me all day.

Clay Bar short cut. Do it when giving it a bath. Use a sudsy high quality wash. I use Adams shampoo. Do everything with the bar. Glass, graphics lenses etc. Mine are pretty good already, so an orbital used for paint correction and swirl reduction. Then finish with your choice of wax.

I do it the long way, wash it, dry it, clay it (usually use the spray detailed) polish it wax it. All by hand. Usually sore for a week after lol

Ah the joys of car ownership. I do just about the same thing, except I dust, then spray with quick detailer and clay bar, then hand wash and dry with a damp microfiber sponge and towel to remove the quick detailer residue, then wax!

You're profile says you are 32. At 32 I wouldn't have been the least bit sore the next day. At 72 , yes I'm sore after a day of real work. Everyone believe this, if you do it right it's work.

Is it used instead of the clay?

I haven't used it yet, but I do believe you are correct - no need for the clay bar. Helps to speed up the process I guess.

I'm 72 also and feel the pain too!

I use this when washing, and then a good wax. A real time saver.

Ya you’d think I wouldn’t be sore, 15 years of labor takes a toll on you though.

Actually the soreness comes from doing something that you're not used to doing. You're using different muscles than you usually do. I've been accused of waxing the paint off before. Remember the Karate Kid, wax on wax off. Have a little fun, soreness let's you know you did something.

It’s probaly more of the sun kicking my *** than anything. I don’t.have enough room in the garage to do them. Either way it seems to never get any easier
