Advice for a noob clay user

[richy22]

Well Im going to be hopefully giving th car a going over either this wekend with the clay bar and have a few questions.

Bought some clay off matt (i4detailing)

And also acquired some green sonus clay from CYC as I had some points to use up.

Now the green sonus one is a lot smaller than the one from i4 so do I use it all or can I chop it in half?? The Orange one im on about?

Also lubricant wise I have red mist but is it ok to dilute this in a spray bottle with water? So i dont cain it all?!

Have you got any megs LT?

Yes you can cut the orange one in half or 3 pieces, then roll it into a ball so it heats it up and then flatten the ball in the palm of your hand.

Cool il chop it into 3 then

This is why i said megs cos it's a cheaper alternative to using dj red mist lol.

Invest in the bulk version of LT and save your red mist.

Thats ok, just get some when you can, saves on the red mist then.

It also depends if there's any in stock and you pay for saturday delivery lol!
