Looks great! Sarge is my favorite color. That is something I will never do to mine. I don't have the patience to spend hours on it. Best I do for mine is the occasional drive through car wash. Hard to keep clean when our gravel driveway is 1/4 mile long then another 1.5 miles of county gravel road to the black top.

Chemical guys is overpriced lower end products marketed as a premium brand. The clay bar did most of that. Your pic shows it.

Gotcha. Yea Chemical Guys is pretty low end. It's not as good as Armor All or Meguiars.

That Jet Seal product made you all take a left turn quick. Or maybe it was a right.
I have never clay bar'd a vehicle. I read about it and watched some videos. I may try it one day.

Clay bars are an abrasive - there are various grades, but they are all abrasive. Some of the detailing forums will have something to say LOL
It's not supposed to be a fix before a final coat.
From one forum -
While the clay bar removes contaminants, it does not remove scratches or imperfections in the paint. Polishing is a separate step that uses abrasive compounds to smooth out the paint's surface.
But I see so many that use it as the final step before something like a ceramic wipe or whatever.
