Default Have yall tryed this ?

Instead of hand scrubbing....i ended up using a buffer with the wool like pad to scrub my car....imo it looks cleaner...iam guessing because of the pressure and more rotations vs hand pressure.........

buffing period would be better than hand jiving. I dont know about the wool pad though, we use sponge pads of the old school pads that look like shag carpet lol

It's all about the Clay bar... It will take anything off. It's time consuming, but I have never seen anything work so well.
