How often do you clay your car or do you clay your car?

I would only do it if you notice particles in the paint. From my understanding your car sits in the garage all the time and get's alot of wax so I don't think you would ever need to do it.

You do have to be carefull. If you aren't carefull you can swirl the hell out of your paint, especially on a dark color.

Once a year for me.
It's pretty simple,just make sure to keep the area well lubed with the supplied detail spray.
Even though ones toy might stay in the garage a lot,and be protected,but once out in the sun a few times threwout the summer,it can still get some crap cooked on the paint.

Once in the spring when it comes out of storage. I sue Mother's and it works great and is easy to use.

Once a year, normally at the start of the summer driving season.

I have not done it yet myself. Will be doing it in spring before the show season starts. You and I have had this conversation. She will definably need it after this frickin winter.

Cheers
