    Exactly. Went out one morning a few weeks ago and there was a fresh 4 inch delamination spot on the left light, now its all moisture in there...

    Looks good. I just clay barred and waxed my motorcycle last week. It's so much nicer working on a bike than it is a car.

    Why wouldn't you wax it?

    Do you realize a clay bar simply removes contaminants, whereas wax protects paint from debris and oxidation?

    Clay doesn't do the same thing. Clay bar, then wax or buff.
