> Plastic bag method works fantastic when claying. It really really really helps feel the surface that your bare hand just can’t. I use that method on glass as well for the windshield. A good clay job to where you can’t feel imperfections using the plastic bag makes a huge difference in final results as far as depth of shine and reflection are concerned IMO.

Beautiful car, that took me by surprise a little. Good job on the mirrors especially, I’m not sure if silver had this problem but mine are a little faded. Going in to be painted soon.

And I use gel armorall on my black plastic pieces in the exterior, like rear lip front diffuser etc.

water works just as good as any spray wax, your just using it as a lubricant at this stage
