Clay on your truck should take less than 2 hours no reason to be queasy. Just grab a 12 pack and a dip and rub a dub.

Hang out here too long and you will be hooked. You have been warned. Once you have a little taste it is over. Kind of like crack. You will be making excuses to miss family functions. Spending all of your money and time looking for that "first rub" high. You will be telling family friends and neighbors "Feel this" Oh wait I did that before becoming OCD Nevermind.

My bike is red with ghost flames


Sealant? Whats that? Seriously.
Glaze? I did not see these at Autozone or WalMart. I bet you are laughing. Again, I am VERY new to this detailing obsession.

The pic was way before I clayed it.

My dad is a Wookie...

Thanks for complementing my bike. Due to a year and a half old rugrat, I don't ride it as much. I was thinking that if I kept it really clean, I would not have to buy another when she gets older. Besides, most of the Jap bikes are becoming more futuristic. I like the old school look.

A Sealant locks in the finish basically and adds protection.

This is a glaze.

I have both of these products and they work flawlessly, you'll fall in love with using Poorboy's stuff. I promise.
