More Corvette huh? I Just used the "Black Box" by TurleWax. It worked pretty good. I don't have the attention span to clay bar it too. Your paint looks better than mine in your pictures. Sorry for the thread hijack...I just learned to host/post pictures. Blame Matt for my lack of computer skills.

Claybar was actually pretty easy, because you can be sloppy with it....The dirt that this car had on it was pretty gross. I went over the rear bumper twice, then just said fuck it and kept going...Car collects so much dirt on the rear.
My arm is pretty numb right now, i know tomorrow ill be hating life.
i also found out there's 2 holes behind the front emblem....hahah good thing i didn't completely ruin the emblem trying to remove it.

Your car must have used to feel like mine still does..about like 80 grit sandpaper. Maybe I'll try the clay bar next time if I have more time. Finally got your calipers painted, that's one job I don't want to do again. It seemed like that caliper paint would never cure.

also look at it this way, when you claybar first..using the quick detailer as lube, it gets the paint/surface smooth....So the wax is easier to go on and off.
