i just finished a little pre holiday detail... clayed on the weekend and got polished today!! probably an 80% correction, but my truck is white so it's kinda hard to tell a huge difference! wished my camera battery wasn't dead. Although i dont know that my truck is "top of the page worthy"!!! (it is to me though!!!!!!

thanks for the quick replies guys... the improvement is very noticeable, but not perfect... so i'm just gonna keep movin or i'll be claying all weekend!!

It should be pretty well smooth with no bumps. My guess is it hasn't been clayed in a long time or ever if it's that hard.

Good guess!!!.... so i guess i need to keep rubbing!

Okay guys, i'm prepping my truck for a machine polish. washed with dawn to remove wax and then did the pastic baggie test. my paint felt like sandpaper. so then i started to clay, and clay and clay... heres the problem, after i clay an area, i again do the baggie test. the paint feels 100% better and there are no visible contaminants on the clay. but it's still not smooth as glass with the baggie test. do i keep claying til my arm falls off or is it ok to move on to machine polishing after a few passes with the clay!!!!

Hey, guys... been lurking for a while, watching videos and reading posts etc. Finally decided to join! I'm not a detailer, but really like to have a clean truck. Unfortunately, i have apparently been going about it the wrong way. Its a white 06 crew cab silverado and for the most part looks new (Lots "improper washes" and waxes). But i just started reading and watching videos and realized i probably have tons of swirls and stuff but just can't see them cause the white paint. I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on the PC da polisher but am a little apprehensive. It is a daily driver and sits outside all the time and i've never machine polished before!!!!!

Wow.... What a 10 months it has been... Went from apprehensive about purchasing a PC, to purchasing one and now I'm detailing as a side business and just upgraded to a RUPES and working for a professional detailer as well! Guess I really caught the bug when I got my PC!!
