punk, the claybar removes imperfections in the paint and restores a luster and smoothness to it...itll remove bird droppings, oxidation, overspray (does a number on overspray) and more...its simple and a great way to prep for wax...

I'd like to see some close up shots of the paint. Get a shot of the hood with the sun shining on it. That will show how well of a job you really did.
