I've been thinking...how do some of you guys go about cutting down on the need to claybar on beat up cars? You pro's know what I'm talking about--those "haven't been waxed in years" paints. I realized that normally I don't mind claying...but on especially beat up paint...I find myself...

SO, Off the "Mean people suck" thread, instead of hijacking, I thought I'd make a separate thread. My father's Lexus was keyed in the hospital parking lot where he works and when he brought it up with the security staff, they said it happens all the time and that there's nothing they can do...
