Today was such a nice day i decided to get the car done.
Washed with Dawn, clay barred, waxed and used the Plastic X on the lenses.
This is the first time i've ever used a clay bar and am definetly hooked

That is the best color for a bonneville with chrome rims in my completely unbiased opinion.

I'd say go for it, it couldn't hurt! It's really easy to do, just takes a bit of time. I was surprised at how relatively easy it was. Plus it makes the paint feel like glass. Awesome stuff. I sound like a commercial now. :lol:
