Clay bar, I was a bit sceptical at first.

The first time I clayed bar my Z it was heavily soiled, so I picked up a lot from the clay bar. The second time around, when I decided it was time for a clay bar, the paint already seemed really smooth. There was only a few spots here and there, which needed some attention.

( I use my car mostly on weekends, so that could be another reason why on the second time around not much cotaminents were picked up)
