Nice.

I'm a big fan of clay barring, I use a Pinnacle bar on mine and it comes up absolutely amazing.

It won't get rid of swirl marks, its mainly to get rid of grit and embedded dirt/dust in the paint.

Tim, the kits are cheap....around $35-40 if I recall, comes with the clay and the lubricant.

It's easy to do if you keep the paint lubricated, otherwise the paint will scuff....not hard to keep it lubed up though, just keep spraying as you rub the clay

It lasts a while, but its easy to tell when it needs doing again...basically, when you can feel grit in the paint even after polishing, it needs to be done.
