Looks good. I need to get of my lazy butt and clay and wax my car.

Looks very nice.

I've never "Clay Barred" a car before... Anything in the process that can actually damage the paint if not done correctly?
Is it necessary to clay a brand new car...or is something for further down the line in my ownership?
Thanks!

just don't drop or contaminate the clay. do one section at a time, keep the clay well lubricated and wipe down well. don't scrub. store the clay in a sealed container and spray it with detail spray before closing.

i like to give my car another quick wash after clay, but that's not necessary and i don't always do it.

Claying: put your finger in a plastic baggie and run the finger across the surface when you feel bumps clay. Now do the finger thing after claying and you should be able to feel the difference.

Your car looks beautiful!!!!
