    I don't know about the clay bars. I usually don't go that extensive on a work truck. Then again I would NEVER own a black truck. LOL

    I think past is better because it makes you rub the surface which will clean the paint some and works the wax into the surface. Seems to wear longer than these wonder waxes. The stuff I use lasts through the winter pretty well. It's due now. I have to wheel out some scratches this weekend

    It makes a HUGE difference!! The clay pulls all the dirt off the paint that is left behind from washing. It also helps the wax adhere better.

    I use liquid wax primarily but i see no real advantage over paste wax or vice versa. 5 waxes a month is a bit much. You can use detail spray between waxes to bring out the shine and remove water spots after washes.

    You should really try claying before waxing. You should be able to get a good 2-3 months between waxes by prepping the paint first.

    I have some scratches too. Will a good wax prevent scratches?

    No. but it can reduce them. Many scratches can be polished out. You can do it if you get a small polisher. You need to use a quality machine polish

    I started using Adams buttery wax last year with chemical guys jet seal. Goes on easy and lasts for a long time if washed correctly without the harsh degreasers at a carwash.
