The car looks better than new.

Juan, do you use clay bars and if so how hard do you rub the paint ?

Not sure Juans technique... but when I use clay I use almost no pressure at all.. just drag it across the lube they you apply....and by lube its just water and some soap in a spray bottle...

You can feel the little boogers snots and nits being picked up by the clay.. no need for any pressure..

I stop using clay bars about 4 years ago, now what I use is "like a sponge" which for me works much better, much faster and it last much longer than the conventional clay bars.
