The front fenders and bumper were worst. The hood, roof, and truck lid fortunately had plastic protection on them.

Just a word of advice. The clay made a night and day difference!

It is relatively expensive @ $55 dollars per towel, but the advantage of it is that you could use it roughly 100 times, which means 55 cents per use; if you were to drop it on the ground, simply rinse it off and go right back to claying! It works as advertised and is AMAZING.

This is why I kept posting to new owners to not have the dealership wash the car. The wash alone from the dealership is enough to do damage to the surface of the car.
