Thanks for starting this thread, John. Ya see, just the other day I was noticing all the swirl marks in the paint(gloss black) of my Spyder. As I'm sure you know, black will always show those swirl marks more than just about any other color.

Well anyway, as I've also never used a clay bar and like yourself was a bit apprehensive about doing this myself, I was thinkin' I would just take it over to some local detailing shop and have them do it. But, now that you've stated that it's really not all that hard to do yourself, and that your fears about doing this yourself were somewhat misplaced, AND that YouTube has some how-to videos about this, I think I'll attempt to do this myself and save a few bucks.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
