Claying - Which one, and how to......



  Shed.
Something else im guna try also, which clay kit should i go for ?

Also, how do you clay.....tare a bit off the bar and flatten it out and then drag it (rub it) across the paintwork...
 
megs clay .

wash the car and do it whilst still wet , you can never have too much liquid on the car , have too low can be a mess , rather than the quick detailer , use car wash stuff watered down .

break the clay bar into 3 pieces , i piece enough to do the whole car , drop it some hot water to soften 1st .

What is claying?

The newer Megs Clay Kit looks alot of money for what it is, Though the clay is quite good. I use that or the Sonus Green.

I bought the Sonus Green as recommended by Rich, quite a mild Clay, ideal for the first timer.

Visually not alot, test the paint to see how much stuff is bonded to the paint. Can you feel a rough finish washing wont remove ?

Mix up some shampoo and water in spray bottle to use as the lube, after washing the panel spray it on. I use 2-4 capfuls in a 500ml sprayer.

a dealer will NOT have clayed the car, the vast majority of valeters dont even know what it is
