Make sure they do there prep work too. You'll prolly have to clay bar the car to get the crap off that silver paint.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Thanks for the heads up Jay. I definitely be checking that.Brandon, make sure you check under the front fascia....This cars are low enough to catch on the hauler when they load and unload.....Not as bad as the Chargers and Shelbys.....Just something to look for from a former carhauler.

Not hard at all. Buy a Adams or Mothers clay bar kit. Tear the bar in half. If you drop it, throw it way. Now you know why you tore it in half.
Take and kneed the clay bar so it fits your palm. Use detail spray and wet a small section of the paint. Run that section with the clay bar. You'll hear little clicks as it's going over embedded crap in the paint. If you don't hear or feel anything, stop rubbing. Avoid rubbing the paint if it's dry. Add more detail spray if necessary.
Wipe off the detail spray with your micro fiber towel.
Now you ready to polish and wax.

Claying is easy. Check out the videos on the Adams website. It makes a world of difference!
