It's Beautyful!!

Finally did the first detail on Sady today following the instructions on this forum. Took me three hours, but I am amazed at the difference. Even though the car lives in the garage, I went out and bought a cover for it just to keep the dust down. Tomorrow I will do the interior. I am planning on entering a show on Saturday so don't want it to get any dustier than need be.
Thanks for the great tips and advice!

One question though. Is it OK to use clay bar on the chrome?

I don't know about chrome. It works great on the windshield.

The Clay Magic bars we sell say safe for clearcoats, paint, chrome and fiberglass.

Clay bars can go on any non pourous surface.

Only 3 hours you missed something for sure either that or Little Missy is very needy. Good luck on keeping her clean as for me the cleaner I try to keep her the more I see that needs to be wiped.
