Default Recommendation for claying an STI

Gents

I want to clay and wax up a recently purchase STI. Any recommendations on the clay and wax I should be using?

Thanks in advance

it should be where it is... in the detailing section.

the problem is the box for the "last 5 posts" on the main page includes the new posts in the various sub-sections. when you enter from the link in the "last 5" box, you have no way of knowing if you are in a sub-section when you get there unless you look, i can tell you i won't be the last person not to look. we shouldn't have to look.

kevin should limit the "last 5 posts" list to the main general section.

Yes claying your window is great, you can remove tons of contaminants from it and get it as smooth as your paint...
