Figured I'd post a few pics of my first wash and wax of the Bu. Took me a few hours but I think it came out nice, a lot better than when I drove it off the lot

Also used the clay bar for the first time, was a little hesitant on using it, but from what I read it's a good idea to use it...

The car looks good. No matter what it is worth the time put in it.

I only clay bar twice per year. Do you just use water in a spray bottle or do you use the spray detail wax stuff that comes with some claybar kits?

I've heard that using water with a drop of dish soap (since the wax is getting stripped off anyways) is a good way to go, anybody try that out?

I wash my car with regular dawn dish soap (blue) to remove the wax so the clay bar doesn't have to remove wax and dirt, then rinse, and then go panel by panel using dish soap water as a lubricant for the claybar. I have done many vehicles this way with no problems and it is by far the easiest way IMO.
