If any of you guys are car finish perfectionists and haven't used a clay bar, do it. I've always thought my car looked pretty good, but if I rubbed my hand over the car, there was a lightly rough texture. After rubbing the clay bar over the car, the finish is literally glass smooth. The difference in the reflection of the finish is definitely noticeable.

You can look at the bar and see the little bits of overspray, dirt and fallout stuck in the bar. It's pretty impressive that all that is still on a well waxed surface after washing.
