it is but once you do it and wax afterwards you'll appreciate the work you just did.

Sides.. it's not like you have to clay every week or month. Just about every season change if your serious about keeping your truck and paint in good shape!

no it's not. I have a black Titan and it looks good all the time. To be honest it's what product you use determines how long the shine lasts and how often you have to do it.

Since I started using Adam's I dont have to do stuff as often as I did before using crap off the shelf at the local auto parts store or at shows.

it's just kindda hard to see where you waxed it, not like a black truck, you can wax the hold car, and then clean it, but most of wax are white, so it's kindda hard to see on white truck, unless you can show me how to do it, it's really really help, me and my dad we both got white cars, i'm a big fan of black, but i have no choice.

there are some spots where you can see the wax, if you pay attention to it.
