Who's to say you won't have a crap job done by someone who you pay to do it? (they'll probably load up a clay bar onto an orbital, which ain't so good)

Do it yourself, spend $30 and 2 hours on it and rest assured you did an awesome job.

Yeah.........30 minutes not enough if it has never been clayed. I was thinking for me since I do it 4 times a year.

Yep, takes me about the same amount of time for a touch-up clay. My neighbors wonder why I'm rubbing Play-Doh all over my car

I'm picturing you pillow-talking to your X as you rub it all over. I love my X too, but not like that!
