1st time claying advise please!!!!!

[*Clare*]

This weekend I am going to clay my boyfriends car.. He has got a black golf gti (which he vary rarely washes). I wash and polish it for him as oftern as I can (when I am not doing my car!) but the paint work still feels bumpy and rough afterwards, not smooth.. After claying I will give it a few coats of ag super resin and ag extra gloss, maybe some carnuba wax as well?...

As this is my first time claying I was wondering of anyone could give me any tips or advise so I dont bodge it up...

Thanks x

Wash the car like you normally do before claying, makes the clay last longer.

Roll the clay in your hand to warm it up and lubricate the paint with whatever you have. and rub, simple as that. Just make sure you never let the paint go dry as it makes a mess , and fold the clay when it gets dirty.

I find that putting it in water to soften it is good and Rich recommends a microwave.

This is a good guide from Polished Bliss for claying.

As long as its is soft, is kneaded to give a a clean face regular, plenty of lubrication you will be fine.

Warm water helps and a blast in the microwave is usefull in winter moths. Should be fine on warm days. Dont do it in direct sunlight tho.
