Washed, Clayed, Polished, and Waxed the Cobra today

[MustangJim21]

I decided to detail the Cobra by hand today. What a work-out it was!! I really need to get a Porter Cable DA. The steps I used were, wash, dry, clay, polish, wax. All pictures were taken with my Blackberry smartphone, so quality isn't the best!!

I picked up all of the products from Wal-Mart. This is what I used:

I didn't take any before pictures, but here as some after I finished with the clay bar:

This is how it turned out after waxing:

Looks awesome man, I claybarred my car a few months ago and I couldn't believe how good it came out! After I finished I couldn't stop feeling how smooth the car was :lol:

Thanks! It has a set of steeda sport springs installed. Sometimes I wish it was slighly lower, but i fear the bottom would scrape entering and exiting some parking lots/driveways!

I think a set of 18" AFS stock replicas would set it off nicely with it's current drop.

Ha ha. That's makes two of us. It's amazing how smooth the clar bar makes it. At first I rubbed my bare finger across the paint and thought the paint was clean and didn't need to be clayed. Then I put a plastic bag over my hand and did it again, and was surprised at how much contamination my paint had!
