Clay, Polish, and a Wax:
I had read up on the "claying" of a new car and thought very little of it. We picked up our Chili Pepper Red Sky on Saturday and I loved the slick feeling of the hood as I ran my fingers over it on the way to the cockpit. That's when I remembered about using a plastic zip lock bag to run your fingers over the car so you can feel the dirt/junk that has collected on the car since leaving the factory. Well, I got home and grabbed a bag, put my hand in it and ran it over the car again...WOW! The car finish felt really bumpy and ruff. I went to the car parts store and bought the clay kit along with the sealer and synthetic wax. What a difference! Smooth as silk. When you get your Sky, you really need to give the bag test to your new baby- you will be surprised.
