      SGS is the v6 camaro version of traction control, it stands for Second Gear Start, it basicially locks the trany out of 1st, always starting you in second, its basicially useless.

      Claybaring, I followed the directions on the box really. Worked well. I waxed it just like any other car, just spent a little more time on it than usual. FYI - I used the whole bottle of the the instant detailer (its what they tell you to lubricate the car with) you CANNOT let the area your claying get dry while claying. It will almost instantly scrach the car. Also make sure you keep the clay clean, keep turning and kneeding it, it does a much better job and takes less effort if its kept clean. PM me or WMCC jr if you need any more help.

      Holy that was a long post espesially from my BB.

              so do you lubricate it with that little bottle the mothers package came with while the cars dry or can you also use it while your washing and the cars all wet?

                    Soapy water works best you just cant use a soap that is any form of a degreaser because it will decompose the claybar and it will fall apart... thats the only reason they say that.

                          Yes, that wax is AWESOME!

                          Joel, thanks for letting me know, do car wash soaps have degreasers in them? I would guess not, but I figured if anyone knew it would be you,

                              Most car wash solutions do not have degreasers in them, and if they do they are very mild. Dawn dish soap for example, will strip wax on contact and tear up a clay bar by the time you get halfway around the car.
