I celebrated Father's Day Eve by washing the Charger. I have never been one for those gimmicky waxes and cleaning concoctions but I thought I'd try the Mother's clay bar cleaning system since the paint on the car felt really rough to the touch for years, from overspray and dirt and other atmospheric crapola.
I used the Mother's clay bar kit and it was absolutely amazing. I washed the car, dried it and then used the bar and their detail spray in the kit. The difference is unbelievable. Before, you could feel the roughness and flatness in the paint when you ran your hand over the roof. With just one run of the bar over each panel, it became like glass. I then used the wax included in the kit. (I've never waxed this car in the 21 years I've owned it - bad owner
)
The paint is so slick now, that I had trouble putting the car cover back on. Every time I tried to place it on the roof to unfold it, it would slide off and I'd have to run to catch it before it hit the ground.
