Looking clean as always bro! I did that to mine also but the 30mph gusts of wind today made my tC all dirty.

Claybar is the best thing.

When I bought my tC, the paint was very rough. I used regular wax and it didn't do a thing. When I used claybar, it made the whole car slick as glass. It was very easy to use also.
