Any feedback on the Liquid Clay Bar yet? My kid got some the other day and used it on his car (a Celica GTS). Washed, liquid clayed then applied some NXT Generation Tech Wax (Meguiar's). Did a pretty nice job. I'm thinkin' it might be a good choice for me: my Box is an '01 Seal Gray and the finish is in pretty good shape. (If the paint on my other car looked that good, I'd do NOTHING to it other than wash and occasionally throw a bit of wax on her.) Never having used clay bars before, I was thinkin' that the liquid version might be a tad gentler on a finish that doesn't really need much work.

Hey Yellow Jacket, the "other" car I referred to is a '96 Camry with paint that's (by and large) intact but is pretty cruddy looking (dull, oxidized, etc.). You think your protocol with the clay and the 3-step Meguiar's would suffice, or do I need to go with something more aggressive? (My dad would probably jump in with the compound paste, but that stuff scares me.) I'm new at this...suggestions from anybody would be appreciated.
