Oh yeah I do.. Sweet. Thank you.. I'm gonna get started.. Does it all need to be done at once. Like if I wash and clay and polish, do I need to wax today too?

One more question, currently I have hood and trunk/spoiler stripes. Going to replace them soon. Should I wait until I get the new one to detail the hood, trunk and spoiler? New ones will cover less area

No just make sure you wipe off any dust before you wax.

Ok cool. Thank you very much CD07. Your detailing thread got me motivated to do this.

Save some money on detail spray and just use the same leftover wash soap/water solution from washing your car (the "clean" of the two buckets).

Took that from Larry (AMMO) and one of his videos. What's the downfall of it?

I don't think soapy water is a good clay lube. Not to take anything away from Larry, he's a genius on a lot of things. Soapy water is a very different detailing trick for clay lube.

Can it work, of course. But I view it as a 'in a pinch' solution rather than something I'd recommend to do.

My opinion is it's very difficult to get it right between too grabby and too slick.

And besides, as cheap as ONR clay lube is, why not use it?
