After a while of letting the car go (adulthood obligations stink), I decided to start from scratch on the car. Today was phase 1. I debadged the car (Chevy bowtie from the hood/trunk and the CAVALIER emblem, also on the trunk). I used fishing line, and GOO GONE with a microfiber to remove everything.
After that came the questionable dish soap wash and claying (wash the car, rinse, then rewash, use the clay and re-rinse).
Tomorrow I plan on going full boat. DACP followed by #82 Swirl Free Polish. After that I`m debating between NXT or #20 sealant, perhaps even topping one of those with some #16.
Decisions, decisions.................

Next time divide your clay bar in half if a small bar or fourths if a large bar. I do this and store the unused portions in a zip-lock.
That way when I drop the piece I am using or it gets contaminated beyond use, I still have more clay and the smaller sizes seem easier to use for me.
Just an opinion!
