For me it bloody was. I'm the most in decisive person around. I need to employ a b!tch to follow me around making decisions for me.

Want a new job Max.

It is still smooth. Well as smooth as my butt.
Just didn't know if it would be worth a go over with the clay kit or not.

best routine i have found with previous cars is this;

i) wash the car as throughly as possible.
ii) use the clay bar to get rid all of the little impurities and ****... (makes a massive difference).
iii) then use the carnuba wax.....

works well for me.

Never used a clay kit , bet It's not just a 5 minute job I would guess you apply the Carnauba last though

You don't have to use a clay bar all over the car (unless you really want to) - it is really going to be the high impact areas - bonnet, wings, front grille etc. It's not a 5 min job, but it won't take you all day either and it does make a big difference to the finish of the car.

i would say you only need to do the clay bar maybe twice a year... but it well worth it definately.
