Somewhat off-topic but for those of you not familiar with the magic of a clay bar:
A couple of years ago in one of those brain-dead moments one tends to have as they get older, I cleaned up, sanded, taped and then rattle-canned my old Craftsman tool chest and tool boxes with a nice red Rustoleum enamel. Just as I finished up I realized I had "forgotten" to move the 911 out of harms way and the passenger side, top, engine lid and trunk were covered in a nice red over spray. Talk about panic??
A quick search of the Pelican forums indicated the liberal application of a clay bar and lubricant was the best bet for removing the over spray and not damaging the 911s paint. After a quick trip to FLAPS for the clay bar and lubricant and several hours spent clay-barring the whole car, not only was all the over spray gone but the paint looked great and talk about smooth, it was smooth. A quick wax job and the old 911 looked better than it had in years.
