Default clay bar
Has anyone ever used a clay bar on their bike? I have done it for a couple of years on the car and truck, and I used one on the bike today, and WOW! It looks and feels amazing!

I am going to try claying for the first time tomorrow. Based on the feedback from this forum and other areas, I am hopeing the labor pays off as well as the feedback indicates. I will let you know how it worked for me and before you ask, no pictures,becasue I have not figured out the picture thing either.

Yes I did and now I am waiting for my 08 to come out of the shop and I am going to clay that bike as well. The paint came out very smooth, I think I am going to do my fairing once more after I wash it again. I think I can improve on what I did the first time. I will be doing my bikes at least twice a year from here on out.
