Boy, is this thread starting to live up to its name or what? Not much being posted lately...
Anyway, last Saturday, after shovelling the garden mulch out of the truck, I figured it was time for the first wax job of the year (Don't get excited Adam - I don't mean manscaping
). I had only recently heard of claying and had decided to give it a try. After washing the truck, I clayed it, using the detailer that came with the kit as a lubricant.
I'm not really sure if it made much of a difference. I didn't pick up much in the way of contaminants - even after a winter of salt, crud and cr@p.
The surface certainly felt slicker, but that might just be the detailer. I then applied a coat of wax and it looks great. But, it doesn't look any better than the last time I waxed - last Fall. The truck is only a year old, so maybe I shouldn't expect a huge difference.
I'll try it again on the wife's X-Trail, which is 7 years old, and see if there is a more pronounced difference.
Any other opinions on the utility of claying?
Surely, this post qualifies as boring.
