I know the feeling Don.
If all goes well tomorrow (or Friday) and the weather cooperates this weekend, mine will be getting the same treatment (she probabaly needs it really bad).

I just picked up a can of NXT and I hope to pick up a new clay bar soon. Hopefully I can get awesome results like the new SLE.

Re: Had to clay the 03 SLE today
Honestly... While I was using the NXT I was thinking I wish I had my Gold Class.. I will go back to gold class... NXT is nice, but I think Gold class leaves a better smoother shine...

Re: Had to clay the 03 SLE today
I actually liked my NXT better than my previous ten bottles of Gold Class. Are you guys applying by hand or by machine?
Btw, nice looking car, wasn't even aware you had one of those.

Looks good, I just clay bar'd the other day too. Had to do from the trim down on the sides. It's a great thing to have eh?

Re: Had to clay the 03 SLE today
Looks good!!! I like Gold Class's shine better than LG, but LG lasts longer, so I use it in winter. I detailed the GXP and my dad's boss asked how much it took to get me to do it, lol. Gold class has a better shine, IMO.
