thats why you polish your car to remove all the imperfections and then wax to protect it... the purpose of the claybar to to remove all the contaminants from the paint so you can properly treat it.

^ LoL! Must be your first time you have every clayed your vehicle? If it is a darker colored vehicle be prepared for more swirls and scratches to show. Now you must use a good polish XMT, Poorboys, Pinnacle, or OPT. Then have a good cut/polish pad on a PC (dual action polisher). Lastly, use a acrylic seal, glaze, or wax to give it a nice shine. Here is some good info for ya!

Black looks good new but is a major PIA to keep looking good...it shows all and every imperfection.
